    At the weekend Virgin fill their lunchboxes with crunchy frog chocolates

    "We use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest-quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose"

    The boxes also contain:

    Ram's Bladder Cup
    Cockroach Cluster
    Anthrax Ripple
    Spring Surprise (chocolate wrapped around two metal springs that, upon the melting of the chocolate, spring outward and pierce the victim's cheeks).
    Richard Branson's birds-beard soup.

      am getting the train from reading - manchester this evening and dismayed to find out there's no food served like you get on the euston - manchester train...

      instead you get a "snack box".. so what's in them then?
      Fedge me.

      I took the train from Warsaw to Krakow last week (Krakow was closed so all flights went to Warsaw).

      Offered a 5 hour coach journey down (its a good 200 miles) so i opted to go and get the train down. £16 one way with a reserved seat in a compartment with a full food carriage serving proper meals.

      Much better than the first class you get in the UK

        oh well...

        ...I've just booked myself on a Virgin Train. I look forward to my kitkatette.
        Sadly with Virgin First, the only class difference is this:
        in standard class you sit with a bunch of pikies
        in first class you sit with a bunch of fatter pikies

          Sadly TL is right.

          I managed to put on nearly a stone when I did Derby - Leeds 1st class for 6 months

          I only went 1st class to ensure that I got a seat, otherwise it was standing all the way...
