17:38........ Just boarding the seventeen forty East Anglia train from platform seventeen going to Shenfield calling at:
Stratford, Maryland, Forest Gate, Manor Park, Ilford, Seven Kings, Goodmayes, Chadwell Heath, Romford, Gidea Park, Harold Wood, Brentwood before its final destination, Shenfield

09:35........ The train arrives at its final destination, London Liverpool Street station

9:23.......... Waiting on platform one for the 'Greater Anglia train to London Liverpool Street calling at Stratford'
Around me I can see specks of snow..... Reminisce of the weekend five inches of snow
The train arrives and once again I Nearl didn't get on!
Why?
Ask those selfish commuters who won't MOVE!
"Can you move along please..... There's plenty of room for one more"
Shuffle! Shuffle! Shuffle!
Seconds later I squeeze in
"Thank you"
And off we go

A headline in the free London paper the 'Metro'........
'Misery brings Britain to a standstill!'
NO! REALLY?
First time EVER!
Can you sense the sarcasm in my voice?
Anyway......... I'm on the National Express train to London Liverpool Street station and I'm wondering how many 'can't get to work because of the snow' excuse is being used today?

Whilst walking through Brick Lane, I pass a cafe and something that I read amused me
What?
A blackboard sign outside the cafe...........
'A free STD test with every coffee'
That's telling a tale........ A very sad tale of how London has evolved!

19:55....... Sitting in a carriage of A National Express train to Shenfield at platform sixteen
The train is scheduled to leave at twenty hundred on the dot

17:16........Heading towards platform sixteen for the seventeen twenty to Gidea Park station
I had planed to stop at Stratford Westfield after work but have thought otherwise
Why?
My Achilles heal has been playing up all day....... Excruciating..... To be exact
So bad that I nearly 'MUGGED' an elderly man of his walking stick....... He would probably have caught up with me in the state I'm in!
