Tales from the Trains


You meet all sorts on the late train back from London. This week was a good sort.

On the way down to London I wondered why my Swiss Rail watch was reading the date as July 33Rd. On the way back I was chatting to the man who distributes them in the UK. He e-mailed me the explanation [separate discs for each number to allow larger digits, if you want to know] which was very interesting. Still does not read right though - it is just that I now know why.

The photo is of the International Maritime building on the embankment near Lambeth Palace. I like it.
