Another train one I'm afraid.
The **** of a train driver that insisted on welcoming everyone on board at each stop this morning, telling everyone the destination and where the train was calling at. He also insisted on asking us all to look after our belongings, and what to do if we saw an unattended package. He also recommended that in this hot weather we ensure we are carrying a bottle of water.
Now, this hacked me off on a number of levels.
1. I and many other people were trying to sleep/read. It was impossible to do either.
2. Each announcement lasted pretty much the entire time between stops, so it was almost a rolling announcement.
3. Why did he need to suggest we carry water? Apart from the obvious (that we were already on the train and couldn't really do anything about it by then), aren't we old enough to make up our own minds?
4. His diction was awful so that each word merged in with the next and the last word in every sentence was cut short, giving the impression that he may have been drunk.
