William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

That is completely unfair to us of Northern birth who own second homes, shop at Waitrose, and...
Hang on, maybe I've been a little hasty.

So, based on the second map, what are you? Based on where I was raised (can't say born as that was Germany!) and where I now live, I'm apparently a self-satisfied, cider drinking, UKIP voter. Well, two out three ain't bad!  |

Apparently, I'm a self-satisfied farmer. Rather that than one of the Norfolk type, thankfully.  |

Yes, that second map is much more representative of the truth. Thank you...

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

Which leaves me wondering if you consider yourself "all of the above", or "none of the above" |

Ha! Second map made me laugh, but why is it only men who get to slide down a hill in a bath tub? (Somewhere north of Watford) Anyway, I think I'll move to Devon, and I don't even care how cider is spelled!
