the bus from Bristol to London



is a journey that takes one hour and a half, this is just to get to the beginning of London, if you want to get into the centre of town the bus takes at least another hour to get through the traffic.

Like most sensible passengers I get off the bus at the beginning of London and take the tube


I got on the bus at Bristol on Monday and the driver said You going to Victoria?

I said, Yes but I'll get off at Hammersmith (with all the other passengers)

You're supposed to get a ticket to Hammersmith and you're supposed to pay more to do that !!!!

The whole week went the way of Alice in Wonderland 

After Blind Ken started questioning me about my appearance I became aware that another person was in the house, Ken kept leaving the room to squabble with someone that might have been a housekeeper - should she use a supermarket voucher to buy milk or fish? He'd say what he wanted, come back to where I sat and bring our conversation back to my piratey teeth then he'd change his mind and leave the room again to tell her to buy fish ... or milk.

Clearly she could have been more use in the room to tell Blind Ken if I also had an eye patch and a parrot but I never got to meet her.

  1. Milk or fish..... cereal or kippers?
    A pirate would have kippers.

  2. Is the bus/tube method to avoid the train for some reason? (I took the train between Paddington and Bristol and the tube to Charing Cross.)

    1. The train journey is unreliable and overcrowded: train ticket = nearly £100 - the bus ticket with guaranteed seat = £12

  5. Merry Christmas, Lovely! (I just realized that I've only taken the tube once in London! I see to always either walk or take a cab!) (I am now sure I've missed an important English experience.) xoxoxox
