PTPMO

Friday 11th November 2005 - Delayed 07:27 from Maidenhead to Paddington

It seems that every day that I use a First Great Wester Train that it is delayed in some way. (Note to self - must start a "Companies That P*** Me Off blog).

This morning there was a woman on the train who deserved today's PTPMO award for sheer bloodymindedness. Why ? She was so busy reviewing her powerpoint slides on her laptop that she took an age to move out of her seat so that another passenger could get to the vacant seat next to her. Until then the aisle was blocked by the poor standing passenger wanting to get to the empty seat. Fortunately the dozey woman woke up and actually moved to that seat herself (at last some semblance of common sense). The cosequence was that everybody else waiting to get on the train was stacked up back to the doorway and beyond onto the platform. WHY do people on trains insist on sitting in the aisle seat thereby blocking access to the vacant seats when they KNOW that the whole train is going to be full. Inconsiderate or what!

Oh, finally a clue about who the woman was....The powerpoint presentation was about Visa doing a deal with Abbey if anybody is interested. Hey it can't be a secret because the laptop was on full display (it didn't even have a viewing filter fitted).
