    You know you’re getting older when……

    My bus pass was issued in Hertfordshire. I can use my pass before 9.30 only has long as the bus starts in Hertfordshire before 9.30. Any other county I can't use it until after 9.30.

    Ticket machines: Why has QWERTY been abandoned?

    I'm not a touch typist either but subconsciously I know where all the letters are on a QUERTY keyboard and I doubt it's going to change anytime soon. I wish I'd learnt to touch type whilst I was at school but boys weren't allowed to learn. What a great skill it would've been nowadays. Nothing...

    A scam phone calls and emails discussion.

    I don't get them either. Maybe because I don't have a smart phone. I've only ever had one scam text on my dumb phone and that was saying I owed money from EE when I use O2. :D

    Comedic "things you would ban": minor things that irritate you

    It not just pedestrians that have problems getting around retail parks but cyclists as well. My local retail park, there are no facilities to chain your bike securely to. It's wrongly assumed that everyone drives to these places. :'(

    Wordy apologies

    I think its human nature to start skip reading letters that are overly long, especially a letter with long paragraphs. If I'm writing a letter to anyone, I try to keep as short as possible but keep to the relevant points. Probably why most of my posts are short. :D :D

    Going the 'wrong way'

    It can happen to the best of us and is easily done. I did it in Wales once, totally boarded the wrong train by mistake but luckily I had a rover ticket.

    Doppelgangers

    I love electronic music and back in late 90's Florian Schneider, Krartwerk (German electronic band) , looked an awful lot like me and when I see the album cover to The Man Machine, I see myself in the line up. I used to go to lots of electronic type concerts eg Gary Numan etc back in the day and...

    Have you any irrational fears?

    I wouldn't come to my flat then :D :D :D. I always walk around my flat bare footed. The first thing I do when I arrive home is to take not just my shoes off but socks as well.

    Have you any irrational fears?

    My irrational fear is the thought of touching a fish. I can watch them in a tank all day but the though of one jumping out and I have to pick it up. Enough to drive a grown man to jelly. I hate using someone else's throne (Toilet) for a number two. :D

    Does time go by faster the more you age?

    For me, time started to speed up when my daughter was born and that was 31 years ago. The only time, time slowed down was during the 3rd winter lockdown, that seemed to go on forever. As a person who keeps myself busy, probably makes time seem to pass by quicker.

    Bullying surrounding trainspotting

    Exactly the same time I when to school. I never had an issue with saying I liked trains and I did train spotting back in those days. My only regret is I didn't have access to a camera (or money:'(). All the photos I could've taken . My father was a bus driver and I only took a passing...

    You know you’re getting older when……

    I'm the same on University Challenge. Give me a geography question any day of the week. I suppose with my interest in railways and lots of travelling around, I've an inkling of where most stations are and how towns relate to each other. I also miss paper timetables. Last week I went from...

    Circular / 'round robin' tickets - What examples exist?

    I've done in the past lots of circular trips using the 3 mile rule. It's just a case of working out the mid way point.
