A Traveller's Tales

Pig flu is official. We are told that the best prevention is frequent hand washing. Don't travel on First Great Western then. Since the dreadful refurbishment sorry "improvement" of their ageing fleet (you remember the one where they fitted horrid, cramped budget airline type seats) the taps in their bathrooms have never worked. In fact the toilets are so insanitary you really fancy a shower after a visit. Maybe in the next refurbishment they can fit non-functioning showers as well.
