On (another) train

This time going from Birmingham to Glasgow. Nice in 1st class (and if you buy your ticket in advance and with a railcard cheaper than standard 2nd class!) - even get wine!

So I'm sitting here, with my Virgin lunch (cheese sarnie and bag of crisps) and the lady in charge of the carriage says "Would you like a cold drink?"

"Yes please," says I, "could I have a glass of white wine?"

"White?" she confirms?

"Yes please!"

- she then walks the rest of the carriage (4 seats - no-one else there), turns - and stops by me and says "Did you say white or red?"

"White" I repeat for the third time!!

Good job they give you a tumbler full!

Listening is a skill we can ALL practice!

Oh, by the way - she brought red!!!
