Aha! Wrong train you say? 15 minutes out? And you'd like us to pay 200% of the ticket price to get a new one? A pleasure! And a free newspaper too-you are too kind.
Ho hum. Happy Tuesday everyone.
On the early train to Bristol where everyone looks relaxed and really healthy. Tanned too. The fact of having purchased the wrong tickets has marked us out as somehow the losers in the carriage. Everyone else is clearly very pleased with themselves and flaunting their oh-so-correctly-purchased tickets on their tables. Everytime a new passenger gets on, fingers are pointed and heads nod in our direction. Maybe we'll get out at Swindon.
Once school duties are completed, it's back to R2 for some top tunes and chat with the creator of Inspector Lynley, author Elizabeth George. She's written 16 crime novels and her latest is 'The Edge of Nowhere', a fantastically exciting story about a 14 year old girl and her mother on the run from an abusive stepfather. He has been using the girls talent for hearing 'whispers' -other people's thoughts- to make vast and illegal amounts of money. If today's guard had been able to hear my thoughts, I might be in trouble.
So some oldies today please on the subject of APOSTROPHES. And not apostrophe's or apostrophes'. A Devon council is to reconsider its street name ban on this troublesome piece of punctuation after protests. I think SONGS WITH APOSTROPHES would be fun or even songs that don't have a ' but clearly should.
Have a constructive and enthusiastic Tuesday, see you after 5.
