Victorians, innit?

I feel like this can somehow incorporate Dave Rave and my competing Victorian Terrace Chants from several years ago.

Now that I can't remember sadly. Thought I'm sure it had hilarious results!

<canned laughter>

Champions of The Colonies, Protectorates and Mandates you shall never sing that.

Sign on, sign on, even though the National Insurance act won't come in until 1911...

Seven smackers for a short ride into town is taking the piss.

Your team is so lacking in the requisite skills it defies accepted wisdom.

And one from our colleague in the Isle of Wight:

Your premises is of poor quality and your members are few in number

My hermitage...is greater in proportion than this.

Would have cost 20 quid in an Uber, I'm 2 Madri's up!

Hang on. A pint of non descript average strength continental lager that isn't really contintinental is 7 quid a go these days?

£6.30 at Trent Bridge, extra £1 cup tax for the first.

You should take your own. With Brid in tow as back up in case it all kicks off with the stewards.

Oh.

Make the trains run on time. Make cancelled trains an utter surprise rather than an expectation. Right size the trains for demand. Bring usage up, take prices down. And sort out the fucking WiFi.
Very much easier said of course

Are there any comparable countries in the world that offer good WiFi on trains? Feels like the tech isn't there really?

I'd never get on a train expecting the WiFi to be any good. I tether to my phone (also pretty crap).

I mean the WiFi on trains is basically a box on the roof with a SIM card in it, which everyone is then using for a WiFi connection through. I don't see as it's ever going to be better than what you can get though your phone.

Someone feel free to educate me as to how this is all incorrect.

I'm going out on a limb and saying none of this will happen. The culture of the rail industry won't allow it.
