Everybody is talking about getting home extremely late after work at the minute, but that must have been even more frustrating. I hope they didn't charge you for it although I wouldn't be surprised.

Yes I was quite worried if inspector came, he/she could have charged me.
Luckily nobody came the night.

This morning, I left home earlier than usual to catch an earlier train as the weather was not good.
I was happy that I got a faster train but at the middle of journey, the train has broken down and we had to wait for the another one for some time. I was late to work after all.
I hate to be late. I did not want to make excuses of the bad weather.

Sorry, I forgot to mention London. It was alright, but I had some problems with the train myself. It was delayed by an hour going both there and back (this was before the snow started down South too). I had to stand up for three hours coming back as the train didn't stop until it got to York. This was while I was carrying some heavy baggage (including my mother's birthday present) from Oxford Circus. I could have gotten a seat if Network Rail hadn't made such a mess of King's Cross. The station is heavily partitioned between the waiting area and the platforms and there was no announcement of which platform I needed until two or so minutes before the Tran's (late) departure. Everybody was fighting to get on first and I could barely move. If I hadn't fought my way through the crowd to the information kiosk I wouldn't have known what the Hell was going on.

I didn't get home until midnight. :rolleyes:

I found one by kamakawiwo's version.
I have never heard of him until your post the other day. He reminds me of your father.

Yes Sooty I have heard this version its very good - he had a beautiful voice but died very young I think

I did not know about that.
I just googled.
He died in 1997 aged 38, weight related problem.
The reason he reminded me of your father was you played kamakamiwo's song *Over the rainbow" at your father's funeral.

I do not think I will mention Kamakawiwo again as I do not want make you sad unless you post.:(

Yes I use overground and change at underground, Piccadilly Line in the morning.
In the evening, I walk (around 20 minutes) to Kings Cross and catch overground train.

In Kings Cross station, there are two platforms, main ones (0~8) and local one (9~11). Normally our trains run from local platform.
Between main and local platforms, they had Harry Potter's famous platform 9 3/4.http://server.zoerb.net/gratisausflu...atform9_34.jpg

I used to work in near Oxford Circus, but we moved to Holborn two years ago because of the rent and rate were unbelievable for a small travel agent. But I miss my lunch hour window shopping. :hugesmile:
