This could start to sound an old episode of Reginald Perrin
I think it is! Along with Seventeen minutes late, water seeping through the cables at Effingham Junction - there was a lot of Effingham and a good deal of Blindingham! Priceless! |

I'm used to delays in the evening going home to Bookham. Normally on time or 2 or 3 minutes late but last nights delays were a little bit longer than normal but that was due to signal failures at or near Clapham Junction. Or so I thought..... Seventeen minutes late, water seeping through the cables at Effingham Junction - there was a lot of Effingham and a good deal of Blindingham! Priceless! Incidentally Effingham Junction is the next station on the line from Bookham. |

I can help here. The llama is a quadruped which lives in the big rivers like the Amazon. It has two ears, a heart, a forehead, and a beak for eating honey... |

If you see one where people are swimming, you must shout "Cuidado! Llamas" - look out, there are llamas.
Although the ones I saw last month in Argentina seemed placid enough.

Missing from the list: an escaped puma, Chessington North badger eating a junction box at New Malden somebody stealing the lines at Surbiton  Also, I don't think I saw "overcrowding due to the operator refusing to use loco-hauled stock to increase capacity and blaming everything on the lack of extra DMUs▸ for them to lease" on the list. |

Don't DOO▸ it, keep the guard (but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea if the driver unlocked the doors on arrival at calling points).

Also worth remembering, they are larger than frogs. Here's a short educational film, set to music, that tells you all about the llama: https://youtu.be/FbwkkXGmFrI |

Things repeat themselves ... COMMUTERS are used to being delayed but an unusual reason was made for late running rush hour service this morning - baby llamas on the track. from The Express |
