Lovely, yes, but you forgot to mention 'civilised'...

I thought it was Dorchester fans who told us we were civilised. Apparently cars, despite the huge carpark the ground is in, aren't the expected mode of transport for away fans down in Dorchester. If anybody is confused, ask Ambersalamander

James, You be civiloized!Everyone else: Last season, when travelling to Dorch, we were being amusing in the car on the way down by practising our amusing comedy Dorset accents. Almost there, we realised something horrible. What would we do if we got there and they REALLY talked like that? We would get the giggles and embarrass ourselves. But having decided that NOBODY really talks like that, we thought ourselves safe. On arrival, the first person I spoke to was the programme seller. He asked me, in a comedy Dorset accent, "Did you come on the coach or on the train?" Biting back giggles, I answered, "Neither- we came by car." His answer, in his REALLY comedy Dorset accent, was "Arr! You be civiloized!" I ran. I couldn't face it. I was so scared I'd blurt out something about combine harvesters not being allowed on the motorway

And that's exactly the reason why there isn't an inch of motorway in Dorset...

And that's exactly the reason why there isn't an inch of motorway in Dorset... Scary but true! There's some rather pretentious bits of dual carriageway that like to think that they are motorway - and you can get from my house to Dorch without leaving these & actually bothering with rutted, single track paths, such as might be used regularly by your average combine harvester, but there is indeed a complete lack of blue lines on the road map where Darrsett is concerned. This I expect, explains the rather naive assumption by some Dorch stewards that, by travelling in ones own car, one is civiloised. There is also a perfectly acceptable rail service you see - not quite door-to-door, but near enough

Never stopped John from doing 125mph down one of those "pretentious dual carriageways" on the way down there on the day of the civilised comment.
oh yeah, rail service my arse. Last time i needed to go to Weymuff, the nasty part of Dorest, the quickest way was a train to Sutton and then a lift down to Muff. This was during the lets dig up every section of railway Nick needs to use phase of the year...

It's a well known fact that whenever you want to tavel by train, either the actions of the train operating comany, or your own shortcomings, will prevent this from happening. ;D

It's actually in the Railway Byelaws if you look close enough There's also the clause saying that Nick is allowed to use open return tickets at least 10 times in a month without them being invalidated...

>:(Bastard! Bastard bastard bastard! The first time I ever got an open return rather than a single or day return to a certain place I was visiting very frequently, was the first time I EVER got my ticket checked! Since then, every time I've had an open return I've had the ticket checked, but never once when I've had any other kind of ticket. Is that in the Railway Byelaws too- Salamanders cannot travel to ********* on an open return?

Probably, it is also because the London to Brighton expresses can't justify being staffed all the time so i rarely get asked for my ticket and when they do it is valid anyway
