I don’t feel up to blogging but here is a great little curiousity from Stuart France or is that just Stu.💜
*
I am late.
I am expected in Leicester and now my only option is to catch the last train.
The last train to Leicester is a slow train and also appears to be experiencing difficulties.
Stopping where there are no stations.
That sort of thing.
It becomes clear that many of my fellow passengers are not going to get to their destinations and as the ticket inspector makes his round they discuss alternatives together.
As this is an unfamiliar route I assume that Leicester too is now out of the question.
A strange thing about the ticket inspector, although this is a new route and I have never met him before, he knows my name…
“Yes, Stu…”
…and uses its familiar form.
“You’ll be in Leicester in twenty minutes time.”
Not only does the ticket inspector know my name and use its familiar form, he is also incredibly accurate.

All of Stuart’s stories have a certain ‘something’ 💜

Reminds we of a time I was sitting in a train in Liverpool, It failed to move for quite a while. Then the inspector came over the tannoy to apologise. Ten minutes later he came on again to apologise once again for the continuing delay. At the end of his announcement he said “I will let you know when the train is moving.” Thoughtful or what” I think that can be best filed under “or what”. 😀

Lol that’s a funny story, sadly often repeated 💜
Jul 27, 2019 @ 12:23:48
Well I certainly didn’t make it up. I was there!
Jul 27, 2019 @ 13:00:15
No I didn’t mean to say you did 💜

The reason for relating the story for me was not that trains are often late, but the inspector telling us that he would let us know once the train was moving which – duh – we would be able to notice that all by ourselves. 😀

Yes sorry I did get that, feeling a little off colour still today , perhaps I need a sense of humour boost 😁
Jul 27, 2019 @ 15:30:24
Try picturing me doing something really stupid. Shouldn’t take long for the real thing to come along. 😀
Jul 27, 2019 @ 17:21:36
Lol 😃😆😆😆
Jul 27, 2019 @ 17:54:43
Hey, how about that then! Bull’seye first time. 😀
Jul 27, 2019 @ 17:57:21
Yes indeed 💜
Jul 27, 2019 @ 18:04:34
That’s good. 🙂 I don’t like to think of folk feeling glum if I can lighten their load a little. I suspect you and your husband are somewhat similar.
Jul 27, 2019 @ 18:29:57
We do love to laugh but the last few days have been very stressful 💜😁
Jul 27, 2019 @ 18:47:13
As I guessed. Nor would I wish to dismiss or dishonour your grief.
Jul 27, 2019 @ 19:43:07
