If a "Ploughman's lunch" is traditionally bread and cheese, with pickled onions and Branston pickle, and a Cornishman's lunch was always a pastry case filled with meat and potatoes, what would the following lunched be?

a) A 142 Driver's lunch

b) A first Class hostess'es lunch

c) A Route director's lunch

d) A Train Manager / Conductor / Guard's Lunch

A Class 142 driver would go Hungry, anything and everything would get bounced of his plate.

A guards lunch is normally whatever the wife packs me up! Normally eaten at about 0730 on earlys. This feels like lunchtime when you have started at 0320!
