Going abroad on a school trip for the first time and trying to be polite about being given a bread roll for breakfast, then getting home to have the biggest fry up with about 3 cups of tea. I miss not having a clue about travelling, but enjoying the adventure.

It's quite a building really,modern a bit of an eyesore to some and not everybody's cup of tea,but looking beyond that and seeing it for what it is,with it's arches and dark brick,the glass/plastic covered areas-it's like a railway station..
