Yeah, you've seen my sig line. But no, this is not about me. It's "funny things overheard on train journeys" (a thread we really ought to have).
So, I was coming back from Avonmouth today. Sitting across the aisle from me is a bloke with trade plates and a Scouse accent, evidently a vehicle-delivery driver. The conductor comes round and he asks for a single "to where this ends". Which could mean so many things but the conductor interpreted as Temple Meads.
Later he was on the phone, "Yeah, Gloucester next... Milton Keynes... blablah... I've just come back from," turns to me and asks, "Where have I come from?" (The moon and back! No, I told him Avonmouth.)
