What could possibly go wrong?

My greenhouse is being unloaded as I type.

Back in the late 80's we had heavy snow on the East side of Shropshire whereas the heavy falls were usually in the West. As the snowblower was garaged at Oswestry we had it transported over along with an operator who didn't know the area. I escorted him to a lane that linked two "A" roads and was blocked by 8' drifts. As he was a stranger to the area I told him that the lane was as straight as a dye(sp?) and to point himself towards the house approx 150yds along the lane. What I forgot was that the house was alongside the nursery.... oops, approx 150 panes of glass broken by the redistributed snow IIRC

So BM werked for you?

My home train was delayed tonight by a broken down freight train 3 trains ahead of mine, are you still with me?  At first I thought well never mind, get a bus to the other side of the problem and get a train from there.    Trouble was there would be no more trains cos they were all held up obviously.   

So I did the sensible thing....  I got into a taxi with 7 blokes I don't know and hoped for the best. Alls well that ends well!

Is your virtue intact, like?

Well she didn't have to contribute to the fare

  Warra nightmare!

Funny but in my younger days (mostly steam trains and a few diesels) I travelled everywhere by train and we never seemed to get the problems they get nowadays .... modernisation or lack of funding?
My only problem was that I used to put my ticket in my cap badge and sleep (usually travelled at night/very early morning)  Often woke up several stops past the one I wanted 
Being in uniform the ticket inspectors never woke me ... it was a common thing to see sleeping servicemen with their tickets wedged behind the cap badge, somehow they managed to "clip" the tickets without waking us.

Was the worse journey in 3 years so I am not complaining.  My pass would have let me change to buses but it was nice to see how people can work with each other to solve a problem.  I did feel sorry for the others as one of them said he was on the first train up this morning so he must have been tired and another just fell straight to sleep and snored until his phone woke him up.  The fare was £30 which divided up wasnt so bad and I had my car where the taxi stopped but I think others had onward travel to worry about.  I was about an hour late home.
