Obviously these times are very unsettling and upsetting but there are one or two positives.
If you are a student and go to pieces during exams then teacher assessments for G.C.S.E grades have got to be a bonus. ( although I was the opposite and always pissed about during term time knowing I could pass the exams )
I get claustrophobic in crowds and get irritated by dawdlers in shops , well that's all gone now.
Soap Operas are reflecting the times for once which makes them mildly interesting .
Cycling is a pleasure again although there is an increase in traffic.
I can have a nap on a train knowing I won't get the customary ' tickets please ' from the guard ( yes that's what they are I don't accept the fancy titles they use )
Oh and before you delve into the archives Gev , I do buy my ticket now

I don't know you at all, Marc, but I like the way you stand by your past. No wriggling out of it, you own it without being proud of it. Nicely done.

I sometimes read some of my posts with open mouth thinking did I really say those things.
They say your future owes your past nothing , but the odd glance in the rear view mirror often helps with a smooth journey

Shit happens, don't worry about it. We've all got receipts out there on the internet.

In terms of positives, I guess saving money due to having no social life must be one.

I think unless it's the end of the line or a station has a short platform the guard just stays in his cabGavin Chipper wrote: ↑Mon Aug 17, 2020 8:29 pmDo they not wake up the sleepers?Marc Meakin wrote: ↑Mon Aug 17, 2020 6:38 am

I can only vouch for guards working on trains in Kent and Essex
