Doesn't life motor on and things change so fast it makes me feel old.
I went to boarding school near Ipswich (Suffolk) from my family home in Plymouth.
It meant:
-- bus from Woodford (Plympton) to Plymouth Station (well - to North Road and walk the rest) - no buffet car :wave:
-- train from Plymouth to Paddington :wave:
-- tube from Padders to Liverpool St (circle line - no changes and no buffet car)
-- train from Liverpool St to Ipswich
-- pu by school bus (did an all day shuttle)
(8am - 6pm)
and what ???????
I was 11 yrs and 7 months old. :shock:
Return was the same but walking backwards - 3 times a year until I was 19
BUT - a claim to fame was during 1967 I was sat in one of those old small compartments - looking at the floor or a copy of Parade and heard the door slide open and shut - glanced up and it was .... Alf Ramsey !!!!!
You can't even fart these days if you're under 16 without parental supervision !!!! :lol:
