You think to yourself, "Oh no. I just want to get home, I don't need to put up with someone random drunk stranger crooning in the carriage."

But what if that singing woman is somewhat familiar?

Okay, she's a little out of tune and slurred in places, and obviously just a little drunk, but not bad for a gardener I suppose!  Grin

I don't get the gardening reference.  Thanks for the clip as I learn she was born in 1960 so was able to pay Mrs SWRural a compliment (I know unfair, unfair).

Ms Wilde's other career is as a gardener. She's written and presented on the subject.

Well, thanks for digging that one up.  A mint performance, and a shame it was so sparsley supported.  Roll Eyes Shocked Grin

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

I was thinking, 'Hoe, hoe, hoe!' but that has a rather different meaning in the modern vernacular.  Grin

I looked again at the video properly and I thought Kim came over as a very nice person indeed and broke down the ludicrous reserve of some of them.  So good on her, how lovely to see.
