See now what you've done!


I am too.... ahem..."working" from home in the back garden.......but curious now as to which threads tempted the "Sean" ish....?


Is it possible (in theory) to take gardening leave, from gardening leave ? If so I think I'm doing It...ahh..



W***

I'm not working from home - I'm on genuine holiday! No abroad for me this year me , so less of thing wink-wink


But as to *Bob*'s OP - yes it is hot, yes beer is lovely and that spicy chicken dish I just cobbled together hit the spot nicely after some tennis. Now if only I had some lovely open-air gig to go to, my day would be made..


oh wait...

Seeing as this looks the place for inconsequential chatter, perhaps you could put your beer-enhanced brains to this.


I was just getting into someone else's conversation on the train and it went exactly like this:


"Yeah, it's going down all the time isn't it. We can buy New York."


Pause.


"I put a bid in at 4:45 and to be sixty over we need 16.75. That's still valid until tomorrow morning."


Then I had to get off. Apart from learning that someone thought you could by New York for 4:45, I have no idea what was going on here. Anyone have a clue what this could have been about? I must know.

Cheers Citizen. All sorted now. My attention was distracted by a woman down the carriage fanning herself with a black lace fan - an unusual site on the 15:03 to Peckham Rye. She slightly spoiled the effect by visibly exhaling a gasping "F'kinell", but all the same, full marks for the fan.

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
