Travel
Here we go again. Another day, another trip to London. I thought I'd post a picture of David by way of revenge for him doing the same to me.
On this trip the realities of international travel are a stark reminder of just how much the UK infrastructure sucks. We're being joined by colleagues from Germany and Belgium, and whilst it's a really early (like, 2am) start for Guido in Paderborn, Steven is setting out around the same time as us. It's maddening to think that in the time it takes to travel from Norwich to London, you can get from Brussels to London.
Update: we got back into Norwich at 8.45pm, and thought to ourselves how remarkable it was for the train to be on time and to only take two hours. And then we realised that this particular journey (ie, the one that only stops at three or four stations en route) is supposed to take 1 hour and 40 minutes ....
