Abort, retry, fail
Depends on the drinker.
Was it you that cracked open a few Stellas at 9am on a Saturday? I seem to remember a thread about that.

Peace out.
I don't see the problem with it myself? As long as people are not taking the piss then there shouldn't be a problem.

Always thought it's a bit pikey. Wouldnt drink on the bus either. But they do sell beer on the refreshment cart so maybe not so bad.
Friday - OK
Mon to Thurs - No so OK

There is nothing wrong with this at all. The next time you get a 'look' from someone just shout "bottoms up"! and down the can in one.
I look back on the good old days of the buffet car and drinking on the way to away games (and home again), aye those were the days.

And have a mean British Rail Bacon Buttie to soak up the booze
I can just imagine the looks I'd get if I produced a glass flute and cracked open a bottle of champagne on a Monday evening on the London Bridge to Littlehampton....

They SELL cans of beer on trains. What are people supposed to do with them?
Luzz them at the ticket collectors?
Only drink cans on Saturdays. Exeter away I boarded the train at Hove at 9am with 8 tins of Carlsberg export and opened one straight away. Conductor said morning sir, you wouldn’t be off to football by any chance.
Drank them all before I arrived. Had 5 pints before the match and another 8 cans for the home journey. Usually only have 4 there and back but knew it was going to be a good day out so thought I’d hit the running hard.

Saw this for a while when commuting from Seaford to B'ton and London. One fella would get the 6:32 am every day, sit down pull out two cans of Stella and The Sun Newspaper, down one can before the train got to Newhaven Harbour, then finish the second before Lewes, it got to be very normal until one day a "day tripper type" asked if that was really a good idea to be drinking this early in the day, before work etc...the bloke in question, replied that he had been packing some kind of food in to tins for the last 12 hours, and this was his way of getting rid of the smell/memory/dullness of the job, before sleeping all day to wake up when we are going home to do it all again.
Kind of left the everyone sitting around him quietly thinking about their jobs/situations. Each to their own, everyones deal is different.
