Genuine Grumpy Old Man, pure 1960s vintage.
Railways not roads.

@NicholasLissack @WestMidRailway Well, well, well. Another entitled pr*ck berating a train operator because of his own failure.

PS: It's a franchise any more. That went with Covid. West Midlands is operated by the Department for Transport.

@prieurdp It's because two-thirds of a car is reversing blind, and at a disvantage, before the driver can see along the rest of the row.

Driving out after reversing in is a far safer proposition.
It makes lots of sense, dont give a fuck if I make people wait. It's not foolish. You are.

@BCS_737 @RealArielBruce @OctopusEnergy Pestered me to fit a smart meter. Ignored them and they've gone away.

@JeffWhitebritt @Apple Dont think your decision will make much impact to their profit margin.

And what are these treacherous actions?
We're intrigued.

@Petethecynik @SkyNews @SkyYaldaHakim You mean Reform?
Hell no, we'll be in a worse state, all the MPs kissing Putin's ass.

@Nick_kerigan @British_Airways Use another airline that prides itself in customer service.

Oh, wait......

@SkyNews What a bunch of clueless w****ers.

@trainfanmatt 🤣
I am of the view that train service reliability is a rock bottom at present, esp on the ECML. WCML aint much better.

[Charlie Papa SixSix 🚃🚄🇬🇧 @GrumpyGit1960]

@JoshR319 @LNER @railadventureen @DavidHorne Given that the ECML is in chaos almost daily, it might be a wise move!

Take pax to Bedford and bung them on a Thameslink. Sorted.

@Jenny_1884 Jen. Stop talking rot. I'm elderly, I use car par apps, pay in shops with an iphone, and other things.

Machines with coins get robbed, many of us dont carry coins, using a card or app is a piece of piss.

If 1884 is your birth year, I can understand why you're struggling!

@alan_muso @thetimes That's fine mate, but what happens when your care money runs out? What happens then?

[Charlie Papa SixSix 🚃🚄🇬🇧 @GrumpyGit1960]

@thetimes Ah, but what kind of trust?
Aint reading paywall drivel.

@nexta_tv Is it April 1? All Fools Day?

@BBCNews Hoping the tournament is a disaster financially, FIFA and the US ripping fans off.

I'm struggling to summon up interest.

@FabrizioRomano Forest are clueless - he ain't worth £100mil.
Talk about fantasy football.

[Charlie Papa SixSix 🚃🚄🇬🇧 @GrumpyGit1960]

How many times in the past 2 weeks has there been a problem on the East Coast Main Line.

The disruptions are getting ridiculous now @networkrail

Is there an action plan?

[Charlie Papa SixSix 🚃🚄🇬🇧 @GrumpyGit1960]

Calmac - the gift that keeps on giving.

NEW in @TheScotsman: CalMac ferry breaks down for third time since extended repairs and annual overhaul https://t.co/QDFxSq1qla

@Oldtraindriver 'bear' not bare. Your bare means naked 🤣

[Charlie Papa SixSix 🚃🚄🇬🇧 @GrumpyGit1960]

@Madz_Grant Get the train manager - breach of railway bylaws. Cant stand these people who have no understanding about privacy, and respect for others privacy.

Or you could go and sit next to him and play 'Paranoid' or other heavy metal out loud to get the message over.

@TheGriftReport This glossing over of presented conditions is all too common.

Relative repeatedly visited GP with bone pain in an arm, dismissed by 4 GPs as Rotator Cuff injury. None would undertake a blood test. When one was done, what was thought to be kidney problem was actually myeloma!
