Grrrr - bloody MP's

Must admit I was put off travelling 1st on the east coast line not because of the price but by those who use it.

mainly civil servant types and squeaky blonde gal <new money, who insisted everyone in the train could share in here phone conversations>

It's the civil servant types though the get up my nose, passing a condescending look every time they glance my direction. Making out they are the most important thing since craft cheese. Gosh talk about the wrong stuff.

If this is what represents the country no wonder we're going down the drain...

More than half the people on that train ( and the edin glas shuttle ) are civil servants or train staff. The CSs you can tell them a feckin mile off, cheap suits and shoes, crappy IBM laptops with government backgrounds. How the buggery do they let train staff take up seats in first class? I have seen people stand while people with a train uniform take up a seat in first class and are not even expected to show a ticket.

And if anyone starts to piss me off with their mobile they find their call disconected about 2 seconds after I reach into my bag and press the magic button.

Speaking of throbbers, bloke on the table next to me once got kicked out to make way for Jack Straw and his security...

Bet you wished you had a gun handy

Ooh, I'd love one of those.

Pity they don't work on ipods, I don't know how many times I've had to ask someone to turn theirs down as the entire carriage doesn't particularly want to hear thir music

Took a train from London Euston yesterday, lots of 1st class empty carriages where as standard class was totally packed, wtf is working there to estimate passenger traffic?

Exactly as it should be

Exactly as it should be

Why?

Why?

If it was the other way round no one would buy 1st class tickets

4 of these empty carriages would have made far more money if they were made standard than 4 first class people sitting on them yesterday.

Your mistake is believing that had they done so more people would have travelled

I am pretty sure there would be more people travelling.
