At the end of the obligatory announcement on the train the chap said....
"Please do not hesitate to contact a member of myself or the on board crew."
I appreciate that no booking system can be perfect, but when the only preferences on my seat reservation booking was quite coach and end of carriage, why did it put me away from everyone else directly in the middle? Nice to have free wifi though.
...and added this to the bottom of a notice for the board...

With my last camera I uploaded every 1000th picture and I have decided to do the same with my new one. This was taken from the top of Eldon Square where there is a car park. I have known about it for decades but never realised it overlooked Old Eldon Square until recently, and have never got round to taking a few pictures.
Below are some more pictures I took from the roof while I was waiting for some spare office keys to be cut. Also a picture of the new library that is nearing completion.
I decided that my Vox blog was looking a little dark for the sunner so Idecided to go with an old look for a while ago.
I was cleaning out the paper shredder the other day and found this in the bottom. Basically is you put to much thought at the same time it just scores a line in the documents and does not actually cut them. You have been warned.
This is a Mini advert that I spotted in Newcastle on the side of a car park that is anything but mini.
This is really not important in comparison with the rest of things happening in the world, but I could not let the passing of my little old car go without some kind of note. This Metro was owned by my grandfather before me and other than a large number of dents was in really good shape.
Sadly after 15 years of motoring the MOT test actually broke the breaks, and the emissions were a little high, and the drivers screen wiper needed replacing. Apart form all that it was still good to go (just not to stop).
It has not had the easiest of times over the last 15 years. This last year has been a real strain on the both of us with that brutal attack on the bonnet, and the attempted theft, and attempted arson, and the letting down of it's tyres, twice, and the puncture, twice, in the same wheel.
It does get worse. The car has been broken in to three times in total that I can prove, and possibly more times that I can not, and actually driven away on one occasion, only be be driven a mile and returned in a neighbouring street.
All in all it was a great little car with good fuel economy that got we around Tyneside and on some occasions around the country. It has changed my life and the lives of those around me just be being a car. I will miss it.
