The most unhelpful member of staff working at a train station
was a Mr. Brian Scratchcock from Basingstoke. During his 40 year career as one of those blokes who wear high-vis jackets, he managed to help absolutely no passengers. Experts have estimated that he said "Dunno mate, I just work here" a staggering 8 million times between 1968 - 2008.

I once asked a train guy how long he thought we would be stranded in between stations
and he said "I don't know, I'm just a mushroom", which confused me into not pressing him further. When I asked a northerner about this, she laughed and said it meant kept in the dark and fed shit.
