Should Sun Readers be allowed in First Class rail compartments?

[bemarie]

Up to town for a very jolly lunch with my stockbrokers yesterday, followed by one or two large snifters at the club. It was all going very agreeably until I arrived at Paddington.Imagine my utter disgust upon entering my carriage to find that some frightful oaf was lounging in one of the seats reading the Sun newspaper. Needless to say, I had him arrested immediately but it turns out that some fool had actually sold him a first class ticket. He then proceeed to board the train again. This was too much; I eventually had to resort to chucking him out of a window somewhere near Reading.I expect to see the Sun being read by navvies fixing the line....but by a fellow passenger!!! Is this legal?Has First Great Western completely lost the plot?Thunderstruck, I have no objections whatsoever to the driver being a Sun Reader. In fact I can see some obvious advantages in having someone up-front whose reactions are tested each morning by a splendid pair of page 3 norks. Incidentally, are you broadly for - or against - the suggestion that drivers of late running trains should be publicly flogged at their destination?

These peasants shouldn't even be on the train. Well done you for chucking him off!

I take it that you own private coach is out of commision then?Not very sporting of you to throw him off a moving train,Think of the mess .

I understand you feelings old boy, like you I always thought that sun readers cleaned the trains and weren't allowed to travel on them.

[BeDeHe♥]

Well, I'm surprised you didn't get your manservant to chuck him off. Are you trying to do him out of a job? Pull yourself together sir, and don't let the side down again by man-handling riff raff.

Oh, come on! Since when have sore knuckles been a disqualification for travelling first class? Would you bar an orang-utan, even if it were well dressed? You are unkind but I admire your courage in throwing out the offender.It cannot have escaped your attention that this was near Reading. The vocabulary is so close to 'near-reading' and so appropriate for a Sun Reader! Much depends, also, upon where the sun was shining for this individual.'Your carriage', is it? Well let me tell you that, like you, I reserve the right to expel undesirables. I refuse to have a 'Daily Mail', however you spell it! If this was at Waterloo, there would be no problem: just the place for a 'Daily Mail' reader. However, if you and I ever met on the same train, this might be a signal for an 'all points' bulletin from the Railway Police as we wrestled to throw each other onto the right track.

I defer to you My Lord,you are the epitome of puissance and good breeding. I am now worthy to touch the hem of your Barbour, I am one of the working classes (sorry) and cannot live without a glimpse of George and Lynne and Hagar the Horrible in the currant bun each day. I do have money though, it is all new money I am sorry to say (grovel cringe) I have just bought your manorial pile and grounds for what I consider is small beer. You will have to live in the gamekeepers cottage from now on, I have plans to convert your manor house into a refuge for immigrants, alcoholic single parents and long term unemployed crack whores. The council does what I say, permission for this is finalised, eviction will commence at 1700 hours today. Toodle pip!
