"Welcome aboard the 13:45 First Great Western Intercity 125 to Cardiff
and the late seventies. If you make your way to the buffet bar in
coach G you will be able to order a 'coffee' and get presented with
a scaldingly hot paper cup full of brown water that tastes like diluted
gnats' piss. With any luck you'll be getting off the train before
it's actually safe to drink, not that you'll really want to. Good
thing you're not planning to buy any sandwiches."


And Gatwick is shite. The arrivals / passport control bit is full
of scaffolding that is beginning to look permanent, after, ooh, two
years or something. What a way to welcome people to the country.

At least on leaving Gatwick the Security Farcifer was a nice young
chap who explained that if the jars of baby goo we were made to taste
*were* actually "liquid explosive", then we would "immediately vomit".

I kept my doubts to myself.

I used to regularly travel from Lunnon to Edinburgh by Virgin express
breakdown, until i discovered that Virgin thallium flavoured Coffee
was actually a secret conspiracy by the airlines to condition customers
away.

This I discovered when I took the chance of being stuck waiting for
aneezy jet from Luton to Edinburgh to be shocked that I was getting
there by the time it had been taking me to find the Virgin buffet car

That was the last time i used Virgin endurance
