Title: To the end of the line! Post by: Bmblbzzz on March 11, 2019, 19:57:27 Yeah, you've seen my sig line. But no, this is not about me. It's "funny things overheard on train journeys" (a thread we really ought to have).
So, I was coming back from Avonmouth today. Sitting across the aisle from me is a bloke with trade plates and a Scouse accent, evidently a vehicle-delivery driver. The conductor comes round and he asks for a single "to where this ends". Which could mean so many things but the conductor interpreted as Temple Meads. :D Later he was on the phone, "Yeah, Gloucester next... Milton Keynes... blablah... I've just come back from," turns to me and asks, "Where have I come from?" (The moon and back! No, I told him Avonmouth.) Title: Re: To the end of the line!
