It took me an hour longer than normal to get home tonight
because a train hit a dog and there were severe delays.

Someone somewhere is being a twat but I'm not entirely sure who. Unless it was one of the Queen's corgis and she'd pulled rank to shut down an entire train line for 40 minutes then I don't see what the problem is. Were they trying to identify the animal so two police constables could go round and inform the family? or did one dog somehow manage to write off a fucking train?

Again fuck knows. All I know is that I was late home and it was bloody pissing it down as well.

Reading this all back I am fully prepared for some kind of CAC/DAC backlash/discussion (If anyone still reads QOTW answers on a Wednesday night that is)

What's a CAC/DAC?

Converts digital signals to analogue signals. But really badly.

And the worst thing is, you weren't even travelling by train.

I may have an actual answer
Dogs are a fair size, add that to the speed of the train and there's potential for damage to pretty important bits of train-say, brakes. So you've got to drag said train back to a shed for checking over, which takes ages to sort out.
