Sundae's Christmas trip to London.

Carruthers · 12-27-2015, 09:01 AM

Yesterday, being Boxing Day, saw the start of what used to be known as the January Sales and TV news reports showed scenes of crowded shopping streets in various parts of London.

I suggested to Sundae that she might like to consider the possibility of the Tube being crowded and give some thought to setting off for the mainline station in good time.

Well, I got that one wrong, didn't I?

Sundae's crowded carriage.

King's Cross Station. One of three major London termini serving Northern England and Scotland.

Sundae has arrived at Leeds and is having a restorative cup of tea before embarking on the final leg of her journey.

Well yes, and no. It turned out not to be a problem, but as always you were thinking ahead, looking out for her best interest.
Could I interest you in a job with the US secret Service? But I suppose the Honorable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms, has first dibs, if Limey doesn't tap you for MI6.

Actually, getting to King's Cross very early paid dividends.
Sundae was able to travel on an earlier train, which had been delayed, and arrived in Leeds about an earlier than was originally planned.
The final stretch of her journey by bus wasn't without complication as floods caused the route to be diverted and traffic was heavy.

Thanks for the job offer with the Secret Service.
Unfortunately, I don't think that I could carry off the 'shades and crew cut' look.

That's why you'd do well, the baddies wouldn't suspect you were on duty, but you have to keep your hands at waist level all the time.

Unable to edit but post #37 should read ...

'...and arrived in Leeds about an hour earlier than was originally planned'.

Apologies.

It's OK, we knew what to meant, just not precisely.
