Owen Woodson BS: The Great Train Snobbery (99* d) RE: BS: The Great Train Snobbery 21 Oct 12


Ok., Who rattled Bonzo3legs' cage? "And as for the fucking tuc march."

It just so happens, me ould mucker, that I was on that extremely well organised and almost entirely trouble free march. Travelled all the way down from Liverpool we did. Me and several thousand other Scouse comrades, in one of several trains which had been chartered for the occasion by Merseyside TUC.

The one I was booked on was an hour late arriving. "Typical. Bloody privatisation. Couldn't even organise a sweep of leaves on the line."

When the train eventually arrived, it consisted entirely of first class carriages!!!

So, for the first time in my life, I travelled all the way to London and back first class, and for the princely sum of just twenty quid (£10-00 unwaged).

And you know what? We didn't see hide now hair of the right honourable member for Tatton, also known as George Gideon Oliver Osborne,also known as Baronet Osborne of Ballentaylor and Ballylemon.

Perhaps he decided we were two posh for him.
