And another thing
Bearing no relevance to Jules , but what is it with people? It's in the extended bit if you want a read 
Tonight several things happened to slow my journey in and out of London. A bomb alert at Kings Cross underground meant a brisk walk to a packed Euston to struggle thro' the crowds and eventually get a tube. Hour and half to do what is normally 3/4 hour. But what tickled me was people's comments:
"They're always closing the tube for no reason",
"Cuh, they could've picked a better time",
"Sorry love, gonna be late home coz the bloody tube's closed..."
"Now, where the hell did I leave my bag....."
I'd have loved to hear their comments had it been true, and, as we all stood on the concourse, a massive explosion had erupted thro' the station. Some people just don't know when they've got it good, do they?
And as for getting home. What's with this Friday rule? Your ticket has to have the exact train journey, time, destination, whatever, on it? Ended up getting the slow train back, which was pleasurable in a way. The express, the one I was chucked off, got stuck behind us as we were late leaving. Of course it'd have been different in the days of a managed rail network, but hey, who am I to moan
