Nice one AmChaff. I'm either either going mad or going stir crazy but I was looking at going, however it's now Tuesday evening and the apology for a train company called Avanti, should be "Avant-a-clue-i" still haven't decided if they are running any kind of service this weekend.
When it was Branson's train set it wasn't great but it was far better run. The government have eased Virgin out of every "franchise" they had and everyone has hit the buffers since, except Cross Country, yet their fares are now way above the comparative fares when Virgin ran both. I use getting to Heathrow as the comparison via Euston or Reading as my main comparison, including the Tube in Larndan or RailAir coaches from Reading. Under Virgin there was pennies if any difference.
One way or another I doubt I'm getting value for money so far from my old farts Railcard on any service as you just don't know when the buggers are going to run and even when I drive up for a home game, the short hop from Halifax to Huddersfield and back is timed all arse about face for matches (except Sunday when they run an hourly service).
I'm with you with the fish and chips AmChaff. You can't do gravy with fish no matter how it's cooked.
Chips and gravy, chips and curry sauce? Yeah that's OK but not when you plonk a nice piece of battered cod or haddock on top.
Hopefully we'll go fishing for more than 1 goal this weekend. We couldn't hold on to a 1 goal lead with Corberan in charge, with The Tactically Bewildered one, we've no chance.
