Cheep day return
It occoured to me that train travel can be very expensive and sometimes hazardous. I had been invited to attend a Charity function in London
So i booked my day off from work, and organised my rail ticket, the cost of a cheep day return to Waterloo on the Iron horse worked out at £27 mazoomers, it then dawned on me of the average cost of an away day. Here we go. A day off from work= £?, Taxi to my local station =£?, Newspaper and Coffee whilst waiting for the over crowded train =£?,
Cost of rail ticket =£27, Taxi to St James = £?, + tip, Lunch and drinks = £?, Donation to Charity = £?, Evening dinner and more falling down juice for self and 2 other plebs = £?, Taxi back to the station =£?,
FDJ at the station whilst waiting for the over crowded train and a copy of the Evening standard = £?, If I am lucky I might get a seat, what if someone jumps in front of the train going too or from London I will have to pay for that as well = £?, Taxi from the station home = £? In all quite an expensive " Cheep day return" = £££:££. Still it could be worse I could have been at work. Moral of this tale, no matter what, a bad day off is better than a good day at work! Have a nice day you all. KK Sparky.

Sorry about the pregnant pause, still waters run deep?. I found the slides of Australia at the weekend so all I have to do now is find a way of letting you all see them, ALL! well who ever can be bothered to look, I suppose if I dont dangle a carrot I wont get any followers.
Mr and Mrs D are coming down for the week end and we hope to fix a date for next years Hol`s and maybe fix the venue, somewhere in the Med I hope with lots of Ouzo and Amstels and blowing bubbles on the bottom of the sea bed.
