Such self awareness he doesn't seem to have worked out who the real idiot in this story is.

There is also the small matter of Caernarfon not having a train station.

This nob is like the "TV doctor" turned brextard MEP who complained about his place of work being in the location of his place of work. Tests both!

How did she not realize that she was leaving London?
Or how did she not know the club she was going to see is in London?
Or was she too glued to a screen Instagraming and not look up to notice what was happening?

My brother, in Central Station in Glasgow, once encountered a Japanese guy who was confusing the hell out of the ticket office because nobody could work out if he wanted to go to Galloway or Galway. His explanation that the place he wanted was near the "Wall of Joy" wasn't really helping. *Sort of* entertaining for those queuing behind him but not much, I imagine.
This Wall of Joy, I think, featured in some graphic novel or a film or I-have-no-idea-what-and-neither-did-anyone-else. So brother dragged him off to tourist office who were also mystified and said he might as well stay in Glasgow that night and start the quest again in the morning, then to a pub, then to a youth hostel, where he was quickly adopted by a bunch of merry Australians heading out for the evening. I hope he had a good evening altogether but I do wonder what this mysterious Wall of Joy was.

I just want to say that I have "liked" every post in this thread.
That is all. Goodnight.

One of my former colleagues at a bus company in the potteries area told me that (as a driver) he did the Derby to Longton (south east corner of stoke-on-trent) route among others. Unfortunately, one evening he got a passenger from Derby on the last bus of the day who it turned out had wanted Long Eaton, a few miles in the opposite direction from Derby...
We used to live in Bethlehem, but in Dyfed. We even had a stable. Nobody was fooled for a moment.
I've been to Carmarthen a couple of times - Nice place.
