    Rude/miserable station staff - Newport

    I've worked in a high street chemist for five years and regularly call my customers "mucker", "mate", "pal", "big guy", "wee guy", "my friend" etc, certainly never "sir" Never caused me any problems at all. Certainly no meetings without coffee.

    ECML v WCML (VTEC v VTWC)

    So wait, it can be faster to bail out of an Edinburgh-Euston service at Carlisle/Warrington/Crewe, switch to another train and still arrive at Euston earlier than the Edinburgh service you were originally on? :lol:

    I'm on the main Edinburgh to Central line so Queen Street is a non-factor. Flights are probably a bit cheaper but in general I prefer using the train.

    Moving to London: Help me use the tube

    Having spoken to several people in the company and elswhere in the industry it's almost always 9-5.

    Moving to London: Help me use the tube

    Camden might be the bookies favourite at the moment. I've been primarily looking at three places: Camden, Shoreditch and Clapham. Camden seems to be good for clubbing at the weekends and stuff. I'm not really into peace and quiet, I like to get my work done during the week then enjoy myself...
