drink drive London trains etc

[expat]

Talkin about if you want to drink take a taxi: thought I might have a drink so I took a train to Neil Young in Hammersmith last weekend. Decided to stay till end because I might never see him again.

Live north on Milton Keynes/Birmingham main line. Damn me, last train was 11:45. On a Saturday FFS! Took taxi home, 150.00.

So really I paid 150.00 for a couple of drinks. Next time I drive.

Sounds like you had a lot more than a couple of drinks to pay that much...

You should have waited 6 hours or so for the first morning train. Euston is close to Kings Cross where there are plenty of ladies of a certain type to keep you company

Hmmm...if London is the capital of the known world (as another poster intimiated in an adjacent forum), how come all public transport seems to grind to halt after 12.00 am ?

Is it because Londoner's are too scared to go out after then ?

Seriously...it does seem a bit stupid, doesn't it.

Many a weekend's been ruined because of the "rush back to the train station" game.

Or find the nearest hotel and spend the night

Yup, I'd have booked in somewhere or failing that, just stay out all night and get trashed, then get the first train home!

Sorted.

If you will live abroad (outside M25) then what do you expect. Next time stay in your own country.

I'm surprised anyone can drink enough of "your country's" watered down pish to not be able to drive.

Unless he was drinking cocktails, like the rest of you savvern jessies.

There are these great inventions called train timetables. They're quite recent I think... you can look up (in advance!) what times the trains depart and arrive. I think you can even see them on that internet thing.

HTH
