That's the great thing about being a Brit in Germany. Your expectations are so low that when your service is +/- 1 hour per timetable, it’s like you're living in the Thistle Hotel Heathrow, without being able to put it on expenses.

Your standards are slipping OG...have you been on the sauce since your last day of billable work perchance?

But being a Brit in Switzerland, +/-1 minutes is just about acceptable. To be honest though, if a train is late, most people assume that there's something wrong with their watch.

Swiss railways were built be British engineers.

You're only a Brit until you get your chance to vote again. Better hope your fellow countryfolk don't screw it up this time...

I'm pretty sure that on the Frankfurt/Hamburg line, the train maxed at 300km/h.

But it's true that as a result of DB being so crap, there's been a resurgence in coach travel.

Eurostar services on UK soil... 300 km/h

Only with the EU's help I see... interesting.

Careful, - he'll post hundreds of squiggly lines, and bore you into submission

You're right, we'll never see that, we use MPH.

not for long matey.... The UK re-joins a month later after you know what and it'll be all metric with the Euro in your pocket. You know it makes sense.

The conductor gave apologies throughout the journey from Hamburg today for the delay to München. Made sure connections would be okay and not interrupted to the elderly passenger sitting next to me. Delay was 3 minutes. Feck;-)

He should have apologised to the poor old biddy for having to sit next to a complete twunt like you for that length of time without giving her access to the ejector seat button!!
