He's qualified by virtue of being more interesting than a lecture on rollingstock in the mids 1970's, presented by dull sockie living in Neasden, spotting trains on an overcast Sunday afternoon, just outside Milton Keynes, clasping a thermos of cold tomato suit to the breast of his anorak.

Unlike you.

My train journey this morning was made considerably less pleasant by the herd of cackling pensioners who’d cut out and kept their free 1st class upgrade tickets from some old farty magazine to visit the ’50 plus exhibition’ in Utrecht. 1st class was chock full, although I managed to find a seat. Having sat down I was unable to retreat behind my laptop as the pensioner sitting opposite me was using the electricity socket for powering his portable coffee machine, so I tried to sleep, a mission rendered impossible by the constant whining of beige and grey clothed OAPs discussing the merits of visiting the zoo on a Tuesday morning and presenting the vouchers from a box of breakfast cereal which allowing them 5 euros discount on the entry fee. They only seem interested in getting discounts on anything they buy.
