An unexpected pleasure

It's nice to get away on business if you are only doing it occasionally. Its even more pleasant if you are upgraded to first class.

Don't let anyone tell you that East Coast have lost their way with first class, it's so much better to sit in a big seat and be plied with drinks and food for four hours than not.

Oh and train versus plane? So far train beats plane. I'm in Kent, relaxed and sipping coffee right now. My colleague is still out there somewhere over an hour late and counting.

Seasick Steve is playing and I'm pouring myself another cup.
