'In case you think London-Sheffield is a special case, I tried London-Manchester. £12.50. ' Like loving bollocks. I used to travel that route a lot (albeit Oxford to Manchester, which should in fact be closer), I booked in advance and I never got it cheaper than 60 quid. Someone want to fact check this guy?

Edit: I wish Bozza was still around. You know the guy who actually works in the rail industry and makes effort posts about how hosed up and inefficient it is.

Four former Barclays executives could face lengthy jail sentences after the Serious Fraud Office charged them and the bank with fraud over the way Barclays raised billions of pounds from Qatar at the height of the financial crisis.

Well this is surreal. Am reading through some articles in my news feed and realised Prospect magazine are using a picture of me and my girlfriend to illustrate one of their articles:

Anyone listen to Ed Miliband on BBC 2 radio? He's become so much more likeable since stepping down as leader.

I don't recognize the concept of "too much toast". And yes, I realize this means that I may or may not be the toaster from Red Dwarf.

Agreed, with the rail pass, cross country train travel was cheap, easy and there were people in every station excited to help you get to where you were going.

I like toast a lot, I'd eat a lot of toast but with butter, jam or honey on it. Not another piece of toast, putting toast on toast is nonsense.

You put something between those slices of toast, you've got a toastie, which I'm sure we'll all agree is the lunch of Gods.

I think you'll find that it's specifically the ham and cheese toastie that's the lunch of the gods.

So instead or rarebit on toast, how about... toast on rarebit?

Cross-country trail travel is gently caress-off expensive in Japan, prohibitively expensive, and once you're out of the cities you hit just as many staff-free stations as the UK has. When you're in a big city then going one or maybe two stops is cheaper than the UK but any further is far more expensive and there's no such thing as a one-day or one-week travelcard. The privatisation of JR may not have been as much of a clusterfuck as that of BR but it was close, and then you have to deal with all the (department store owned) private railways that are even more likely to close down due to the "wrong type of rain" than any British line.

Of course there are a bunch of poshos in my office doing research on some London stuff we have, and naturally they're all chatting about Grenfell and are mates with Rock Fielding Mellen the Councillor at Kensington responsible for housing: "Oh I know him, he's lovely, really charming, nice chap".
Every now and then I hear snatches of conversation floating in from the research room like "well they're just complaining because they hope the council is going to bend over backwards" ..... "I wanted to go to the Kensington Library last week but it was closed because of the riots, bloody annoying" ..... "it's like the Gordon Riots, terrifying" ...... "I'm going to the country next week until the end of August" ....... "of course they're rioting - it's hot and they've nothing better to do after all".
