Train Stopper
Trains chaos yesterday, first time I’ve travelled by train and got held up be an accident. Lorry hit a bridge we were supposed to transverse. Held up half an hour, then passed accross the bridge okay, got to a later station, Shrewsbury, and then we were told, service ends here, then a case of, OFF, finished, finito. So had to wait for a later train. It reminded me of the old Reginald Perrin quote, “11 minutes late, escaped Cheetah on the line at Marble Arch”, only this time more like “30 minutes late, bridge attacked by lorry driver at Newtown.”
Interesting couple of days in the metropolis when we finally got there, but I’m usually glad to get back to my rural retreat..But for how much longer, is the question, as soon my home will be for sale. I’m sure the recent credit crisis in the UK banks will help my case no end..The art of timing..
