Took just over five minutes to reach Lytham from St Annes today, however arrived into Preston six minutes early. Strangely enough not many of my fellow commuters wished to join me in taking a stand against Lanky railways. Despite collecting five signatures to support my campaign yesterday nobody wished to stand with me by the entrance of Preston station. One of the Lanky staff asked me to remove my painted A board (made it last night from plywood, it read ''Coast-line, Leave On Time' in red letters).
Then over lunch I jested with Marcus, senior solicitor, about his Christmas party attire. (Heard from the team he turned up to the office fancy dress party dressed as a Green Man - like the ones you see on pedestrian crossings). I made reference to the Green Goddess from TV AM fame to which he cattily remarked that I could do with dropping a stone or two. A low remark for a man of his intelligence. As an act of retribution I failed to inform him that a particularly angry client was in reception to see him for his later appointment. The angry fellow practically floored Marcus when he eventually came down to reception to see another (also irate) client. I made myself scarce in the copier room whilst the fur flew.
