Wonder when the headlines in the local papers are going to be "Boozed up Birds in Bermondsey" riot squad called out.**M**.pmsl.

I was not boozed up,,,,much

I only drank water or coffee Merlin...boring old fart I am

But it was strong coffee Hayley,and wet water
lol

TW - after having been thru a similar blister scenario during my visit to Berlin, I can highly recommend them there gel blister plasters - they work a treat and got me thru my 4 day jaunt pain free :O))


Anyway i parked the car up - paid my £2.30 for the luxury of leaving it there for 6+ hours, and tootled across to the station, during which time i receive a text from Hayley that she's on her train.........

I stroll along leisurely (always early me) to the ticket office and watch a 'slow' train pull in on the London platform then disappear. I buy my ticket, and half listen to the announcement that the next train due down from London is cancelled - not registering the fact that said train is actually the one that should turn around and come back as my 9.25 to London.

I walk onto the platform to then be greeted by 'attention passengers on platform 2, 9.25 service to London is cancelled - next service is 9.55' .................. GREAT !!! it's currently 9.05am.

Phone Hayley and give her the news - calmly :O)

I enquire at the ticket office if i am able to go back to the previous station and switch across to the Victoria line - 'yes madam you can i'll just check the times for you' - next train to London 10.06am ................ no point faffing around, so i wander off to the meagre array of shops in Strood and find a half decent looking cafe and have breakfast - egg on toast and tea with hardly any milk - yuk !!!

Stroll back and succeed in getting onto an empty train at 9.55am - take 2 calls from Hayley during the journey, but can't hardly hear her lol - arrive in London and bundle onto the tube to be greeted by the same message as TW - signal probs.

Nothing worse than being stuck on the London underground at the best of time - sweltering ..............but finally get off at destination and get thru the barriers to see a vision with auburn hair approaching me and not a tarten shopping trolley in sight lol

As said before a delightful day - but boy the time just sailed past far too soon.

ok it was calm but I could the disappointment in yout voice that nearly counts ....or ruffly translated is your nevres were NEARLY 'anging out....

I think that taxi driver was a real eastender..." w'ere ya gow'in gal "
