However, the only problem with that, was actually falling asleep and ending up at the end of the line, when the noisy all change messages come over the tannoy. Not often, but often enough to make me late for my dinner at home, with the spouse about to send out a search party.<br /><br />The other issue was getting a crick in the neck or other unmentionable place while sleeping - I've often wondered why they expect people to sit on trains or tube, when putting in single beds would make travelling so much more comfortable.UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-4696295952892425402018-09-05T07:04:53.476+01:002018-09-05T07:04:53.476+01:00I think I've met that man; he once told me, un...I think I've met that man; he once told me, uninvited and in great detail, all the ways to get to Cookham by bus ending in a recital of the timetable.
