For the cost/distance I'd drive

Consider the wider implications in your cost analysis.... when my kids were kids, we'd use the train for the experience, so much nicer for them to be watching the world go by from a coach window, then cooped up in a car, stuck in a queue around Reading or Heathrow.

Was that before the M4 was built?

He used to use the train so the kids could experience it...

I'm with you there Reg, but it was horrifically expensive, certainly more than the 94 quid Sippo is quoting. That's the point really, though, there shouldn't be such a massive imbalance in cost that many people are all but forced to drive

Would love to go on the train. But a £30 car ride with £2.20 all day parking, how can that compete? The view is not worth £60.

We're all different... if stuck in traffic jam and someone said, here's the way out right now for £60, I'd take it.

you can't make it affordable, more people would use it.

capacity is already an issue.

Slicing lemon. I just can't fucking do it. It's beyond me, I lack the prerequisite gene.

I have to settle for lemon chunks in my G&T instead. That'll do.

Haha. I totally hear you!

Met the most Man Utd-esque Man Utd fan at the park, was playing football with my kids (5 and when these other kids about 6 or 7 asked if we wanted a game, then about 10 minutes later this Utd fan turns up, easily 10 or 11, and starts playing my two off the pitch, doing all sorts of tricks, celebrating goals against kids half his age. One of the kids on his team falls over hurt, I go to make sure he's ok, so the Utd fan takes a shot from his goal and scores into an empty net and celebrates. I throw the ball back to him to take it again, he storms off like a little baby. What a prick.

Sipping one as I write. By slices, do you mean cross-sections? I use a serrated steak knife to slice wedges - works wonders.
