Man, Mountain or Fish

D'oh!!

Friday - 5am start for a 5.50am train to London. First Class (the company was picking up the tab).

Taxi arrives, still asleep I stumble onto the train. Feeling smug as I have fifteen minutes to spare. I settle down snap a few photos and dig out my ticket (or so I thought).

The train pulls out, conductor arrives and I suddenly find out that I have actually left the ticket in the office...

In case you didn't know. A first class single from Edinburgh to London is one hundred and seventy five pounds! That woke me up! I can supposedly claim it back as I did actually have a ticket for the train. I hope so. I can see a few months of to-ing and fro-ing until I see the cash again though.

Luckily SJ was heading down after her work and she met Ka7ana who passed her my tickets - meaning that I could come back up without shelling out another one hundred and seventy five pounds.

This photo was taken somewhere around Sheffield as the sun came up. the dawn made me forget about how much a simple mistake cost me...
