well blow me down with a feather!

[charliecharlie]

Needed to go up to a meeting at the RCA and lo! the trains from Peckham Rye are still all b****red up! quoting nearly an hour to get from Peckham Rye station to London Bridge on the Nat Rail journey planner.

so my meeting has been canceled! think I have been a bit out of the loop as I have been working form home for the last 2 days, but isn't this getting a bit silly???

My colleague was trying to get in from Herts for the meeting and says he has given up the will to live....

I went from ED through PR this morn on the train with no problems.. Someone else on the forum just posted this though so tonight may be a different kettle of fish..

Southern - London Bridge - no service Service suspended between London Bridge and Beckenham Junction due to emergency engineering works. Tickets being accepted on local buses, and First Capital Connect services.

At LB right now, and trains don't seem too bad.

Shouldn't that be on the "satges of forumitis" thread?

Charlies, in the spirit of helpfulness, "Knock me dahn wiv a fevver Clever Trevor".

If in doubt always consult Ian Dury.

[charliecharlie]

Sorry to pedantic here, but needs must(!)

I am more of a Blockheads fan myself, but I think you'll find PG Woodhouse was the originator of the expression HB

Quote - Bertie Worcester "well blow me down with a feather Jeeves"

[HonaloochieB]

Your source is impeccable Charlies, it's close but in this case Wodehouse trumps Dury.

I stand corrected.

[????]

And East Dulwich gets a mention by Pg Wodehouse (Dulwich College) whereas Ian Dury tends to stick to wonderful East London and Essex...

It gets mentioned more that once Quids, I remember reading that when Wodehouse was setting something in the suburbs he always based it on ED.

[charliecharlie]

now HonaloochieB... that is the sign of a true gent, you did not jump on my mis-spelling of Wodehouse

(versus woodhouse)

I'm fairly bright but spelling's not my forte... often don't bother with glasses and dyslexia rules...

you just went smoothly on with the idea behind the post... and I thank you!

Charlies, you may be blown down with a feather tomorrow night when you have all of the boys around you. You and Miles sure are monopolising the girls and boys of the forum. Don't forget your glasses. :p

nor at similar mismanagement of Wooster...

The first was me being polite BN5, the second was me being all cack-eyed.
