What an easy train journey home!



Final whistle ... into Dick's Bar;
First in the queue to be served;
Settle into a comfy seat, to enjoy a pint of Harveys;
10.30 - walk down to the station;
10.32 - wait for two minutes to be allowed on to the platform;
10.37 - reach platform and walk to the end where the front of the train will arrive;
10.43 - train arrives, get on, find a seat;
10.44 - train leaves;
10.50 - arrive in Lewes;
Walk to car, parked 5 minutes away;
15 minutes later - back indoors.

The only thing I don't understand is why so many people wanting to go to Eastbourne let the Seaford train go and waited for the first direct train from Falmer to Eastbourne. If they'd have got on the Seaford train, like we did, they'd have found a Lewes - Eastbourne train waiting for them at Lewes and would have got home half an hour earlier.

This is kind of akin to coming home to find out your daughter has been raped, but amongst the horror and devastation, being pleased and relieved to discover that the wife at least remembered to record The One Show.

I find your blind faith in the train service quite touching m'lud. Bless. But that 10.30 thing is going to leave you snookered sooner rather than later. The trains WILL up-f*** on that line. Its only a matter of time. But good luck anyways.

Work of absolute genius.

PS. His Lordship did manage to leave out one vital piece of information though: 11.15 pm sat down at computer to eat buttered bun.

Well, thanks for the kind remarks. Just thought it was a bit of a deckchairs-on-the-titanic thread from our Lord that did precious little to lift my black mood.

And thats not even racist.
