There was one on my 630 am yesterday morning.

Little cliques of people wearing silly hats, eating sausage rolls and talking very loudly. At that time in the morning, I have no interest in listening to these " in groups" babbling shit at each other. I just want to read the news and listen to music. And I certainly don't want to enter into a conversation with anyone.

Ban them.

Humbug.

That is all.

I'd have loved it. Any alcohol flowing?

I had a Christmas party in my car coming home last night on my own - light show from the cars in front and behind on the motorway, loud music, off-key and out-of-tune"singing" along, no drinks or food but emergency kitkit to hand if needed, entertainment watching the petrol tanker in front start to zig-zag across the lanes (which momentarily sparked more sombre thoughts about the potentially imminent afterlife), imagining Santa in his sleigh as the aircraft landing lights passed overhead...

They used to pop up regularly when I was bell ringing, the evening ones usually involved a few bottles of bubbly, lights and tinsel attached to the luggage rack and on one occasion a bucket of sick left on a table.

Joyful

Must have been Tories , although I don't know what they have got to celebrate . If they had been Labour they would have been singing the red flag and reading excerpts from the Jeremy Corbyn annual

This is ironic. Football supporters annoy the shit out of other commuters every Saturday.

Could've been the Mike Dean referee Christmas party.
Obviously Mike Dean didn't get the invite to the Mike Dean party.

People going to work possibly. Not everyone work Monday to Friday in offices you know. You must be a blinkered paper clip counter.

Going home for the weekend while in the RAF used to enjoy the 17:19 from Victoria to Bognor at Xmas time the buffet car was always rocking. Happy times.

When I used to commute between T Wells and Charing X many years ago the last commute home before Christmas was one of the highlights of the year, great fun, and then straight to the pub, those were the Christmases I remember fondly.
