A lot of the modern rolling stock on the railways have hard, uncomfortable seating in standard class carriages.
Nearly eight and a half hours on the direct LNER Azuma from King's Cross to Inverness was a bit of a test. At least we could get up and walk around a bit.

Quite a few years ago we walked the Great Glen Way and caught the Caledonian Sleeper from Inverness to Kings Cross. It was the old rolling stock, I was pragmatic in ensuring that Mrs Tkk had the top bunk as I knew that I would almost certainly have to get up at some stage for a pee and didn't want to disturb her when clambering down😉

Sh*t, that's why I won't have pets !!!! So, even cats need to have MOTs now .

I'm more worried that he takes his cat on the Motorway!!!!!

Been out for dinner

Only a Toby Carvery but we had a Groupon voucher that expired today so we went
It was nice - well - nice for a Toby

Only confusion was the voucher
I was just getting ready to leave and grabbed the voucher that I printed off a few days ago
I knew it expired today as Groupon kept sending be emails saying it did

but when I looked at it- the fine print said it expired 3 days ago!!!!

which was confusing

I checked on the website and the fine print says "expiry date 20th Feb" - clear as day

but when I displayed the Groupon it clearly says it expires on 23rd Feb

anyway - tehy accepted it so all was OK

I hate last minute things like that

Same problem with hard seats here in Victoria Oz

Most of the cafes in North Yorkshire have decent Vegan stuff on offer.

And presumably soy lattes
