Everyone is back home. Several documentaries were seen by the two who went off to Sheffield, including 'Black Lace' as well. Sad how we grow from the fresh skinny youths of young into...... well I will let your imagination ride on that note.
Lillie had travelled down first class from London, apparently you can bid, if you have a second class ticket that is, for a first class, so £13 extra bid secured a seat. Not that she made much of it, did not have a free meal and stuck with a chocolate drink on the journey. It must have made the train assistant miserable, but it is useful to know you can bid for a first class ticket. Who hasn't walked by empty first class carriages thinking what a waste of space as all the other carriages fill up pretty quickly.
What else? I have been watching 'A Murder at the End of the World' (ItvX) which does not have rave reviews rather there is the complaint that it was over long and dull. It is set in Iceland so has lots of snow and storms. It came over to me as rather surrealistic and out of this world.
The storyline definitely was. Mad genius billionaire father creating another world for his son had invited world experts on a number of things. But two get murdered, you will be surprised who did it! But Agatha Christie would have made it shorter. Interesting how AI figured in it but then if I went further might give the killer away;)
I love memes, you may not....
I laughed at dog Ralph. I grimaced at trickle down economics.
ReplyDeleteTranspennine first class was crap. The LNER trains are so comfortable now, I am not sure that I'd bother with first class. The line was horrible when run by Virgin, stinking of food, people milling around without seats and vomit swilling around a floor.
I forget you are the great transport wizard Andrew;) The Virgin experience is very off putting, I suppose you could put it down to football fans but also people who go clubbing in all the big towns round here.
