I'm a tentative maybe, but it's unlikely, because my weekends for the next three months seem to be all booked up with work, running, hiking, more work and a stag do.

 

Although - Northerners - there's a chance I might end up in Halifax for a week or so at some point, if anyone's up for a mid-week meat in Bradford or thereabouts....

Let us know when you're in Halifux. Although it's quite likely you'd be some kind of flooded there.

Fascinating - the way that something which we used to regard as an everyday, cheap and easy thing to do, travelling from one part of the UK to another - is now either a luxury, or only to be done if it's a necessity of work. As a student or a young man starting work back in the 70s, I thought nothing of hopping on a train to visit friends a couple of hundred miles away. Didn't have to book a year in advance to get a decent price, or risk standing all the way either.

Privatisation of the railways (after the stealth NHS privatisation which has been going on for a few years now) must be the most absurdly, grotesquely unsuccessful privatisation ever.

I thought Portillo's TV series on Great British Railway Journeys was a particularly brazen piece of pissing on the citizens, seeing as he was the very man who came up with the mechanism which pushed those journeys into the world of the rich man's pastime.

Sorry - now go back to discussing the meat.

You can still go and visit your friends for cheap - it's just that now you have to take the bus.

I saw a bit of one of those where he went to Fife to his old family home and he was talking about all their servants and how great life was.

 

I had to turn over before I punched my tv into a million pieces.

That sounds like a brain-eye problem.

 

Get yourself booked on one of those object-recognition courses I've heard about. You'll be telling buses apart from trains, tractors apart from phone booths and clouds apart from fog in no time.

I miss compulsory use of blue text :( I'm guessing you are aware that he means that trains are often replaced with buses anyway. :-<

Yup, I was goading.

 

Have never got used to the blue text thing, it was all done before my time here and I've rarely seen it since.

Not even close. Travel is not in the same league of necessity as water and electricity. :Y

If you think you can just turn up asking for Technical Support without being pestered to meat, you are sadly mistaken.
