Text received from a friend of mine today:
"car broke down and got stranded for hours so only just got home. Looks like being a costly one"
This is one of the things I like about train travel. The more fucked-up and delayed your car becomes, the more you know you'll have to shell out to someone else. The more fucked-up and delayed your train becomes, the more you know someone else will have to pay you.
[Yes, know that's an incredible oversimplification, and glosses over the fetid and piranha-infested swamps of railway compensation claims, but never mind]
In other shock news, I've just broken my soap.
