FGW in "not all bad" shocker ;)

Here's a letter from FGW^▸ (First Great Western) to a colleague of mine. She helped out when a chap had a stroke on a London - Temple Meads train last week. Hamper has arrived too!

[Phil]

That's great!

I can't help wondering though if the hamper contained one carton of orange juice, one sachet of instant coffee, a bottle of spring water, a bottle of carbonated spring water, a Breakfast Tea and an Earl Grey tea bag, one packet of nuts, three different packets of oaty biscuits (2 biscuits per packet), some sachets of milk and sugar and one of those strange little square dried yoghurty things. Underneath that would be a space where a selection of sandwiches, cakes and cans of carbonated drinks go; however as these are chargeable items, they have been omitted from the hamper and replaced by a note explaining that these items are available at a small charge if the employee would like to present herself to the on-board customer host.

Cynical? Moi?!

No coke/diet-coke? 

Well done to your colleague and great to see FGW^▸ (First Great Western) recognising this.

No thanks letter to me, for closing countless HST^▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)) doors at various locations across the south west

You have missed out the wasabi peas and the tasteless oily corn kernels!

Plus you've ignored the breakfast fare that by its teture was probably prepared several weeks ago and kept in suspended animation until consumption.

ooh yum. Wasabi peas are my favourite! 

Back on topic it is indeed very good to see FGW^▸ (First Great Western) thanking this person in this way

No coke/diet-coke? 

Ssssh, you! I was trying to avoid mentioning that by referring to it instead as "cans of carbonated drinks" in case I set FallenAngel off on one!

I'm not one for political correctness
