Hugely inflated ego? Really? Margaret Swift 15 Nov 2014 22:00 I'm not sure why I should have mentioned I was a frequent traveller to London earlier, although this is common knowledge amongst those who know me well. Margaret Swift 15 Nov 2014 21:30 I agree. It really is only those of us who commute daily to Exeter, London or the North that can speak with real knowledge on this ...
Come on, come on, Come on, come on, Come on, come on, Come on. D'you wanna be in my gang , my gang, my gang, D'you wanna be in my gang, Oh Yeah!

Pete (Onaport, etc) - I'll shut up when I decide to, not when you say so. Margaret, I'm only going by the announcement made on the train!! I know what you're talking about and I know what I'm talking about.
