They could at least have made an effort to get the British Rail logo the right way round.

Maybe that's a pun on bringing something back (i.e reversing the change) as I'm pretty sure they're going to know which way around it goes.

I've signed the petition anyway. Fuck these endless shitty cash sucking franchises that usually end up with the people at the top trousering large wages irrespective of performance.

Well, that doesn't make any sense, as it's not BR that they want to reverse, but privatisation.

I have no problem understanding their clearly written out aims:

Campaigning for a re-unified national rail network run for people not profit. Sign the petition at www.bringbackbritishrail.org

Bring Back British Rail is a new nationwide campaign. We are demanding:

• An end to private interest in public transport.

• A fully integrated, publicly-owned rail network, in which the passengers are always the most important stakeholders.

• Consistently low priced fares and fast, frequent and efficient services which have the capacity to continually improve and expand in order to encourage more people to choose rail travel as a real, green alternative to their cars.

Oh, I saw an actual road sign pointing to a station that had the BR logo mirrored the other day. Now where was it? >_<
 
I suspect the "bring back british rail" campaign is a false flag operation by the EU and their real aim is to continentalise our railways and make us run our British Trains their way (ie. the wrong way) around, on the right hand side instead of the left hand side. This is all part of a ploy to redesign our whole country to suit foreigners and not hard working British family commuters and holidaymakers. Thank goodness we now have some commonsense politicians over there to fight against this madness.
 
Crispy I think there is one somewhere in south london and now I am going to be tormented by my attempts to remember where for the rest of the day, damn you :mad:
 
If it helps, I think I saw it while driving between Clapham Park and Dulwich.

Maybe.

Ah, bugger, if I'd seen this in time/ not been at work until some stupid hour that night, I'd have been up for that. Hope all had fun.
 
I shouted at a jogger today. They got exasperated with me as they had to stop mid-jog while I moved slowly from the pavement into the bus. I think she expected me to deftly manoeuvre my pushchair out of her way but I was very sleep deprived and was not feeling nifty. Instead I shouted 'Oh for god's sake, that's so rude!' at her, she did look quite shocked. Take that gentrification.

Was it leanderman?
 
Onket said:
Yes.

It's going to be a two tiered thing. The football is on at 5pm so we need somewhere showing that, then we can either try somewhere else or go to the Effra Social again.

People not interested in the football can turn up about 7pm.

I've already booked a half-day off work.

Before or after?

Leery shouting put me off jogging. Having said that, last time I went to the rec, we came across the pool pervert who was watching the ladies doing the water aerobics. He had goggles on and kept dipping under the water.

Which one is least worst? Shouty leerer or silent watcher.

I don't think I've ever leeringly shouted but I have definitely looked before. Glanced though, not stared. Honest.

The shouty ones - ignorance is bliss (?) However pool perv was only there to watch the women - he wasn't subtle. Although I doubt the ladies exercising were aware of him.

I pretty much ignore it tbh. I always wonder what the success rate is- has anyone ever actually got their tits out when invited to by some random in the street?
