And I shall remind you that rippleman said: "I'd love to invite Messrs Bloom & Barber to join me on the train", and he travels from the West. You then seemed to dismiss that with limited or no experience of his journey. Is that correct?
How many times have you travelled from the West as rippleman does? How qualified are you to so readily dismiss the experiences of those who, I believe, make completely different journeys to you?
