Just out of interest what do you all think the best sentence would have been for him?

[partyanimal]

the sentence was a bit harsh dont you think, after all, he wasn't the only sleeper on the track. Boom Boom......

[Theland]

Railroaded?

[-Zorro-]

He needs retraining

[whiffey]

I found it rather amusing, it reminds me of the day the police helped me and my bike out of a ditch at 3am. All they said was "Are you ok madam ? WALK home from here!"

The sentence is fine, no real hurt done.

a british rail sandwich!

Sounds as if he has gone off the rails , and needs to be put back on the right track

I remember that - I was on a diverted train. No punishment is too harsh for the guy. He should be given 100 lines.

A week in Manchester would have been just the ticket.

"You're an incompetent idiot and I don't think you should be working here...goodbye."

Oh, I'm so f***ing funny...

Lol @ you all :)

Oi MustafaTickl what's wrong with Manchester haha :)

Years ago whilst in practice in Sheffield (a place that I liked very much), Jenna, I was persuaded to open a branch in Manchester (Cannon Street if you know it). Over a long period I came to regard Manchester as the utmost miserable place on earth and closed the office because I could no longer bear to spend even a second in Manchester !!!

The Cannon St where by the old bus terminal behind the arndale? Know where you mean, have you seen it recently though, a brand spanking new Arndale extension, very posh and no more grotty bus bit, even a new posh market and they've put a big wheel in Exchange Square.

Thank you for the pictures and update. No, I have not been to Manchester for many years. My day was long before the word Arndale had been thought of, when Manchester was a bit ramshackle, the locals somewhat
rowdy, and each Friday a confrontation with the landlord.
