 * ''(JP: 'Had a very bizarre week this week, really, and I'm slightly fatigued as a result of it, but you won't be able to tell from the excellence of the programme. Of course, things will flow seamlessly before you between now and whenever the programme ends. I had to go up to Birmingham initially, had to drive up there. Nothing wrong with that, but the road into Birmingham was closed so it meant I had to spend half an hour driving around parts of Birmingham with which I was entirely unfamiliar, getting completely lost and ending up in one of those hotels which is incredibly expensive. I didn't have to pay for it, fortunately, but really quite absurdly expensive, and you go down to the bar in the evening, hoping to read the paper and have a beer and perhaps even fall into conversation with somebody. It's full of melancholy businessmen with women rather younger than they are that they obviously don't know terrifically well. It's not the kind of place that go to for fun and expectation and so forth. But then after this I had to go up to Lancaster and on the way back down again (this is where the story really starts), coming back down with British Rail (it's not called that any more, but whatever part of the railway system it was that I was on), we got to Preston Station, which I'm sure in its own way has a lot to recommend it, but I couldn't see it, I have to admit. And I was on the train for quite a long time because they decided to remove one of the carriages from the middle of the train. That's a laborious business, but at the same time lots of rail technicians will leap forward and they'll know exactly what to do. Not so, in the rhythm of 95: it's the responsibility of the guard, who's the ticket collector, who's rather an amiable feller, nearing retirement I would say, and not a man who looked as though he had much technical ability.
