Serious error....

I thnik the trains go to/from Manchester Piccadilly these days.

A truely shocking error.

I remember getting trains between Leeds and Stafford, and walking between Piccadilly and Victoria. Not bad in fine weather, but a little too far when it's raining or you have heavy bags. There was a shuttle bus at one point.

The last time I did the Piccadilly to Victoria trip was after catching the train from Manchester Airport. Ooh, look! They've got trams this time!

But on the platforms there wasn't a single sign to indicate which direction each platform served. Not a soul around to ask either, for it was a Sunday morning. Yours truly picked the wrong direction, but all turned out well, for I found an excellent mucky boozer which did perfect Boddies and had a good juke box too. I cheated and took a taxi after that.

The next leg was a cock up too. I'd forgotten that Sunday is engineering day on the UK railways, so we ended up on a bus across the Pennines. I did enjoy the scenery though.

What I find more shocking than any of the railway stuff is that anyone would admit to being so brain-dead that they watch this turgid badly-written and appalingly acted utter tulipe instead of wasting signifcant parts of their life that they'll never get back.

I only caught a few minutes of it, Mrs Styles watches it. To me it's never been the same since Jack Duckworth gave up the window cleaning round and Reg Holdsworth left.

So you watch it too?

So you watch it too?

My ex-wife's refusal to ever miss an episode was a (small) factor in our demise. It was hard to avoid then if I wanted to spend any time with her.
