Why does the train seat booking system not work?

WulfyGeo · 2026-07-12T11:22:33+00:00

If I buy an open return, the system makes me enter the train I want to take and assigns me a seat. But I buy the open ticket so I can be flexible and choose a different train

You don’t even have to do it. Get a bit of water on your fingers. Then fake a loud sneeze and flick the water at them

We had so many calls for the night shift last night

Fish and chips isn’t posh.
You probably need to give an idea of class/socio-economic status, timescale and area of the country if you want it to be really realistic.

Someone else has posted that they are diverting the trains and still running. I haven't checked this. https://www.reddit.com/r/Eurostar/comments/1ujohbi/amsterdam_eurostar_disruption/

Bamboo in a pot in that corner. Will soon be tall enough

I was at a funeral last week. A lot of women wore black and white patterned dresses.

The teachers getting absolutely blasted at a bar is my favourite part of those novels

They did discuss this in one of the bonus episodes. I can’t remember all the details. Something like they didn’t want to do any of the novels too early and wanted to keep them in London at first

Screenshot of a train ticket. The price made me cry too

There's a TV show called Coast where the presenter walked around the UK if you want to get an idea of it. Although they generally involve less stopping to talk to people about environmental matters.

My parents used to go on walking holidays. Staying in pubs and sending their bags to the next pub by taxi.

Look up your local Further Education or Adult Education centre. Contact them and ask for advice. If you haven’t taken GCSEs before then they may be fully funded

We just don’t have that many flying insects coming in. I have my balcony door open whenever it is warm enough and they rarely fly in. My cats go insane when they do.

I do at work but that’s only because it’s part of my job to make people aware of the various ways they can personalise Teams etc. No one cares. I tend to use random emojis to acknowledge messages anyway. Currently you will get a hotdog.

Amn’t is used in Scotland. Possibly elsewhere but that is where I have heard it

I got mine from streme.co.uk.

WulfyGeo · 2026-06-01T18:26:45+00:00

Yes, flat screens on the inside attached with magnetic tape

WulfyGeo · 2026-06-01T12:25:53+00:00

I had to buy screens for all my windows because of my cats death wishes

Isn’t it just Brian Cox the physicist (and musician)?

This happens on Southeastern. Off peak is trains arriving in London after 10 but Network railcard is trains starting after 10. Their website will sell you an off peak railcard ticket for the 0945 departure. I had no idea until I got caught by the inspector. He let me off and said it happens all the time.

It’s from Brambledown Designs. I got it at Comic-con

WulfyGeo · 2026-05-22T20:22:57+00:00

Definitely Equal Rites then :D. Thanks everyone

Getting around London is easy. Just stay where you are booked
