I was having a rant about that kind of thing a couple of days ago!
I don't know if you spotted it, but I discovered that it is about £12 cheaper (with a railcard) to catch a train from Todmorden to Leeds, then catch a train to Exeter, than it is to just walk in at Leeds station and catch the Exeter train direct!

I've not been on a train in years, the last time I had to go to Leatherhead, before that was in Sydney

It is, as you say, crazy, but, such madness is not limited to the railways. A number of years ago, Mrs @BoldonLad wished to visit her friend (pen-pal from school days) in Sweden. At that time, there was a ferry from Newcastle - Gothenburg. The price (two passengers plus car) was £600+ return, but, the very helpful lady in the booking office pointed out, that, if I bought a "Camping Holiday" (which consisted of exactly the same ferry crossing, plus some Camping vouchers), it would be just £400. Needless to say, we took the Camping Holiday, and, gave the vouchers away to friends of Mrs @BoldonLad's friend. Bizarre.

I was thinking that...Thats a lovely pair of hairy legs there Paul.
Mine have gone 99% bald for some reason! I don't know if being on Warfarin is the cause, but it has happened steadily over the 9 years that I have been on the drug.

Hmm - Thinking about it, I have been wearing compression socks/sleeves most of that time... 
That one is my damaged left leg. You can probably see how swollen the calf is compared to the scrawny one in the other photo?

If I showed you the toenail on the big toe of my left foot, you wouldn't be laughing...
(I stubbed the toe about 3 months ago and it still looks like it is going to fall off!
)
PS I don't think anything serious is wrong with it but it looks pretty alarming. I expected it to clear up in a week or two but I reckon it will have to grow out with the toenail and that will evidently take many months.
