the heat is on

I got onto the 19:00 tonight - aware I've been living on 5.5 hrs sleep each night this week I went to the quiet coach - sadly it wasn't very quiet.

Why oh why is the quality of my journey compromised by people who aren't regular users and so find the simple things amusing../ challenging.... anyways a very polite polyester city suit banker type asked if he could sit next to me and within minutes I was asleep - only to be woken constantly throughout the journey by what appeared to be a primary school party whom thought sitting in the quiet coach would be a good idea. The sun was beating on my forehead and I was sweating like a rickshaw rider. Not ideal. Why oh why couldnt the team leader have exerted some control over the kids - as one little lad nearly smashed his head into my camera tripod as i got out at colchester i almost felt compelled to shout at the little people and give them a lesson which their ditzy female leaders were clearly unable to teach .... social decorum!
