I really don't want to talk about it.

But train travel is one of the best kinds of travel
Beats the shit out of flying, that's for sure.

The trouble is that a lot of people leave their wits behind them when they get on a train, or go into any public forum for that matter.

I can imagine that dealing with the public in a job like yours must test your patience quite heftily
But then again, TRAINS! Weeeeeee choo-choo!

It does, and it only takes one to ruin the day.
But yeah, I can sit in the back cab and piss about with the horn while doing my sudoku.

Better view than from my office. Oh look, a carpet warehouse.

Mostly we do cattle trucks full of commuters
But we do, from time to time, get to escape into the country:

How many different ways can you think of telling someone that is stood under an A1 size poster that says "IT IS AN OFFENCE TO SMOKE IN THESE PREMISES" to put their fag out?

Have you tried a fire extinguisher?

That, apparently, is considered battery under English law

And people here wonder why I scoff at english law.

The trouble is we can be held responsible if we do not 'advise' people to put fags out in what is essentially our work place.
So if a punter complains that I didn't tell someone to stop smoking then I am held in breach of that law. THE WORLD'S GONE MAD, I TELLS YA!
