Once upon a time I found myself in possession of a military travel
warrant to obtain a rail ticket from Woking to York. Via the "cheapest
recognised route".

I always went the most convenient way and looked crestfallen if a guard
ever mentioned it and had no problems.You have to be nice and polite,
though. TerryJ

Polite and bewildered are a winning combination. Around nodnoL, pretending
to be a tourist frequently jbexf, too.

Speshly a non-English speaking tourist. Most of 'em doesn't
understand Welshish in Nodnol, thankfully. And none of 'em
understands a word of my own brand of gibberish.

since last year, though. Me, not the Labrador.

RSM from the Scots Guards goes into a bicycle shop, slaps a condom down
on the counter and asks the old bloke in the brown shopcoat to put a
patch on it.

"But sir, are you sure?"

"Aye, I wanna patch on the johnny."

"It'll cost fivepence ha'penny, you can have a new one for sixpence."

"Och, I'll go think aboot it."

Come back the next day, carefully puts a sixpence on the counter and
says "I've asked the lads, and we reckon the barracks can afford a new
one."

Oh, Mr Branson, what am I to do?
I wanted to get into orbit, but you've left me on the moon.
Take me back to touchdown, quickly as you can.
Oh, Mr Branson, what a waste of a hundred grand.

What goes on in uk.rec.sheds anyway?

As little as possible, accompanied by cups of tea.

Not to mention Fudge's splendid chocolate-dipped stem ginger biscuits,
such as I have by my left elbow at this precise moment. Hand crafted in
rural Dorset, they're highly recommended.

Fudge's. Did they invent the confection called fudge, or is it merely a
coinkydink?
