Who would have thought a derailment would help us arrive home two hours early...

Reminds me of 20 years ago - when track works being cancelled, when I was on a train due to be diverted, ended up costing me money!
I've lived in Cwmbran (in S Wales, a few miles from the GW main line). At the time, I was commuting daily to Oxford - so the usual routes with my season ticket involved changing at Didcot (Newport - Bristol Parkway / Bristol Temple Meads / Gloucester - Swindon - Didcot) (Hereford - Worcester was an alternative, but took an hour or two longer).
Track works were planned around Swindon - so train booked to go via "Berks and Hants" - during diversions like this, season ticket validity would be extended to allow travel via Reading - so, if I wanted to visit London, I'd only need to buy a ticket from Reading, instead of all the way from Didcot.
Track works being cancelled meant a slight change of plans / fare ... !

Would those measures be pints - or sixths of a gill?
As for our friend "Tam", you could almost imagine some preservation line getting hold of a class 09 - fitting nameplates to it - and hooking it up to a driving trailer.
Well, they've got to make up for income lost to all those Corona lockdowns - better still if they can also get the nippers "trained" ... .

Found the straw that broke the camel's back, but the last hanky on the washing line and crack! Or a perhaps it was the 4 bath towels?

Caught Boris buying sweets this afternoon and he didn't give me any.

Just because all the Maltesers packets are in the bin under my bench doesn't mean I ate them all.

Just watched Monday night's Traffic Cops and the scroat that snatched my girlfriend's bag. Nice to see the cell door close on him.

Car repaired (deer damage), £20 for a light and £20 for it to be fitted and bits straightened out. Not perfect yet but legal.
