    Cabin Crew Discussion

    My sister is cabin crew. Don't expect that from her. Please don't say anything like that again. I come from from a proud family, she may just be cabin crew to you but she has performed on TV and is a qualified dance teacher, I am an engineering graduate, my two brothers are graduates in education.

    Hmmmm. The OP is a kid. Not sure he would take it as a complement.

    InterCity East Coast: Doomed to Fail?

    Ha ha. Fair play. Many apologies if I offended you, I call everyone mate and maybe I shouldn't. I know my dad isn't keen on being called that. Anyway, all the best to you.

    InterCity East Coast: Doomed to Fail?

    I apologise but I find your style of writing unreadable. You just go off on random trails and stick the occasional hyphen in for some reason. Maybe I need sleep but it is hard work. Sorry for calling you mate I guess.

    InterCity East Coast: Doomed to Fail?

    No really, it isn't. It starts with something I said in brackets and then has a lot of random things with hyphens all over the place. Don't apply to be a speech writer.

    InterCity East Coast: Doomed to Fail?

    York to Newcastle is hardly a thriving metropolis.

    InterCity East Coast: Doomed to Fail?

    Yeah you aren't my mate, which is about the only thing you made clear there. From everything else you said I find it hard to work out what it is you do like or want.

    InterCity East Coast: Doomed to Fail?

    Part of the reason Edinburgh is so accessible down the East Coast is that nothing is in the way. Lincoln isn't on the ECML, nor is Bradford, Sheffield or Nottingham. If you live in Bradford, Sheffield or Nottingham you are going to be looking at other routes to get a cheaper train. There are no...

    The age profile of RailUKforums members?

    Why are people bothered about being over 40. For starters I am delighted I have survived this long, sadly many don't and I count friends among them. I know and have experienced a lot more than many under forties and sadly many of them will never know or do what I have. Be grateful for what you have.

    InterCity East Coast: Doomed to Fail?

    Mate I don't agree with railway privatisation but if one company can turn a profit in a free market economy and another can't what is your problem?

    Ah well. He is a good player but not one I will be that gutted to loose.

    InterCity East Coast: Doomed to Fail?

    Why? If they are still competing effectively then it works. (I say this as someone who thinks the way the railways were privatised was idiotic, but why restrict companies that are doing fine?)

    Didn't realise that had gone through already! Ah well, so long and thanks for the memories. The price is incredible.

    InterCity East Coast: Doomed to Fail?

    The WCML has Coventry, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow (That whole area between Liverpool and Manchester has Wigan, Preston, Stoke, Wigan and Warrington), plus there is Chester and North Wales. The ECML has fields plus some small towns, Leeds and York. I don't mean...

    Football

    Apparently after giving away a soft penalty and shoving Firmino over the advertising hoardings without getting a card Holgate has been a victim of racial abuse after being called mad and a son of a b*tch. The FA are investigating.

    Donald Trump and the aftermath of his presidency

    I have read some exerts from this recent book about him that are at least very concerning. We get the government we deserve though so in general it is probably all of our fault. It would be foolish to think the same doesn't happen in our country. Our foreign minister is a f**king joke. We are...

    Hs2 what about making the trains look like the APT?

    My god that is a face only a mother could love. Thanks for the travel advice though.

    Hs2 what about making the trains look like the APT?

    Yeah I used to think they look a bit daft. Not seen one in the flesh alas although Japan is on the list to visit. Isn't there something similar in Spain? I am far from the expert any more, may be easier for me to get to Spain on the current wage, I have focused on central and eastern Europe for...

    Forum Update

    Cheers Paul, I didn't even notice that the quizzes didn't count. That said the only quiz I really take part in on here is the General Knowledge one.
