You know I feel rather foolish now I think about it in that light.

Certainly 'experience' suggest long distance intercity train journeys are best made with a six-pack of McEwan's Export.

Once, just after I started working, I took a train up to Manchester on a Friday night to see my then girlfriend (now wife) and had to sit opposite this guy who had clearly not had a good week/day/month/year/carrer at the office. It was winter, so the window was like a mirror and this guy just stared out of it the whole time, with this manic 10,000 yard 'do not talk to me' stare, whilst gunning down cans of McEwans. There were about half a dozen empties already on the table when I boarded. He was a big fker too. I spent a happy hour trying not to catch his eye.

It was pretty funny and sandwich mans timing was genius. Nobody was hurt, all the talk of assault and civil liberties is a load of media whipping it up bks.What happened to the British having a good sense of humour, this country really needs to seem to need to "man the fk up" at the moment
Right - so if you were doing something, enjoying yourself, not doing anyone any harm and some cockend decide to push you over for no reason whatsoever you'd have a sense of humour about it would you?

Really? Because I'd be very much inclined to chin the .

People bad mouth the Scots, but not only did they invent TV and roads but they invented the only logical way to travel on British Rail. biggrin

What is it about travelling on train with a 6 pack.

Usually the only time I go on the train is to an airport. When travelling with friends they almost all seem to be into the same tradition of a 6 pack of lager.

The funny thing is, they don't drink lager normally.

If it's fake, ho-hum. If it's real the pusher was a nasty bully/thug exhibiting the kind of behaviour that is bizarrely but quite rightly lambasted in the other thread.
