Behind bars?  Tongue

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) 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.

A pint of quality lager from the Bath Ales bar 'Graze' next to the 'up' platform at Bath Spa.

A great place to sup a pint and watch the trains go by.

Word of warning. Bit pricey. My proper Czech Budweiser cost me ^4.50.

I'd expect a litre of it, rather than a pint, at that price! Shocked

Thing is, I'm on a bit of a lager bent at the moment. Quality lager mind, which means paying through the nose in many locations.

Peroni Nastro Azzurro - ^5.04 a pint, The Beer House, Waterloo
Veltins Pilsner - ^5.00 a pint, Mad Bishop & Bear, Paddington
Budvar Budweiser - ^4.50 a pint, Graze, Bath Spa
Amstel - ^4.16 a pint, Bonapartes, Bristol Temple Meads
