Anastasia the Ambassador at Paddington
First Great Western have been one of the better train companies on this journey. On my way to Hereford yesterday, I was accosted by, Anastasia, one of their Customer Ambassadors at Paddington, whilst waiting for the train.
I said how pleased I was with the company, adding that I hope it wouldn’t upset the journey I was about to do. It didn’t! We then got talking about Inter City 125’s and how she and the customers preferred them. She also said, that quite a few people booked so they travelled in one.
All those proponents of the IEP would not have warmed to the conversations.
THe Inter City 125s will be replaced on the main line, but they’ll outlive most of us!
Evangelical Christians and AIDS
It is claimed in this report, that three people have died because they have been convinced by evangelical christians, that prayer rather than drugs can cure their AIDS.
The religious nutters should be prosecuted, before they confince others.
Cheap Booze at Asda
There were reports yesterday that Asda are now selling Budweiser at fifty pence a bottle.
No wonder many peoples’idea of a good time is to get bladdered.
It means I have another reason not to shop at Asda.
In my view, there should e a minimum price for a unit of alcohol. I doubt it would affect me at all, so perhaps I’m being selfish. But on the other hand, I don’t want the psrtners, parents and friends of heavy drinkers, to go through all the heartache of the death of a loved one I’ve been through. And my wife was only a very moderate drinker and my son didn’t drink!
92 Clubs – Day 17 – Hereford, Huddersfield, Hull
This day wasn’t as difficult as it could have been. The start wasn’t too early in that I left on the 8:22 direct train to Hereford. I had two choices at Hereford.
- Walk to the ground at Edgar Street and then have lunch before catching the 13:08 to Manchester.
- Get a taxi and hope I could get back in time for the 11:53 to Manchester. This was only eleven minutes.
I chose the latter and made it with a couple of minutes to spare, as the outgoing train was four minutes late. The picture of the ground also wasn’t one of the best.
Edgar Street
But I was now on my way. The change in Manchester was a bit chaotic, but I arrived in Huddersfield with sufficient time for the shortish walk to and from the ground in time to get the 16:16 train to Hull.
Details at the Galpharm Stadium
Hudderfield’s Galpharm stadium is impressive and is certainly architecturally and structurally more interesting than many of the new grounds like Coventry, Southampton and Leicester. I had my picture taken in the club shop.
In the Shop at Huddersfield Town
Perhaps that is a bit of a cop-out, but I was in a hurry and the weather was rather fresh.
It was then on Hull.
I did take a taxi to the stadium.
Walking Back from the KC Stadium
But the picture was taken as I walked back. The walking route is easy and the railway tracks are well bridged.
I caught the 19:10 train back from Hull and it was on time in Kings Cross.
But then of all the trains I have taken, only one has been late by more than four minutes. And the Hereford to Manchester train, which was late by four minutes was to my advantage.
92 Clubs – Day 16 – A Day Off
I did the same as Day 15. You may think I’m slacking, but the next day is difficult and I want to arrive in one piece.
92 Clubs – Day 15 – A Day Off
Because of the need to slow down a bit and the severity of my hay fever, I decided to take the day off.
