There's not even a proper bar in this hotel. Just got two bottles of 330ml Heineken to take to my room. bucking £9.80.


Should've gone to the pub.

Yep. Schoolboy error.

Some bald bloke is going on about what a fanny Donald Trump is on Sky News. As I already knew that, I turned over to the BBC.

It's not too late to pop out for a swift half and be among people.

I'll see. I'm just finishing this Heineken.

I'm in dow's bar next to queen street station waiting for train. Someone just put Status Quo on jukebox.

4.89 GBP for pint of Pravha. Not shabby these days.

Up early. Am about to go down for my final hotel breakfast.

Not convinced by this taxi service. I rang them to confirm my booking, and they had it for 9.45 not 9.15.

Terrible Telford Taxis.

Nearly time to go home.

There is a Beefeater up by the station that opens for breakfast. Doubt it sells beer though.

Oh great. My train is delayed by a minute. I've only got a six minute transfer time at Birmingham International.

Three minutes now.

Literally the first time in my life I've only had a short transfer time, and it's delayed.

Oh Boy.

We arrived at Birmingham New Street a few minutes early, so must've made the time up somehow.

Touch wood.

You don't wanna be doing that on a train. Someone might see you.

I went to use the toilet on the train, but instead of pressing the button that closes the door, I accidentally pressed the emergency assistance button. So I hurried out to pretend it wasn't me if anything happened.

I was trying to twiddle a better train service.

This thread is really ramping up in its dying embers!!!

Most excitement there's been all week. He nips to the loo for a sly shuffle and manages to grass himself up to the driver.

Made the train.

Will shortly pull into Coventry.

On a train to East Croydon now.
