The post office
I thought that the Post Office was taking longer to deliver things, so they could make more profit, so I thought I would tweet it and got this reply.

Typical Scotrail Commute
Got to the station and the Dunblane train was cancelled. Even the throttle trains were running late. Then my train changed from being on time to expected. But the train did arrive. Only three minutes late.
Tried to post this earlier but as usual the WiFi on the train had security issues. But speeds are getting faster. This due to people giving up.
As usual no sign of conductor. So you can't get ticket on train. Have to go and queue at excess ticket booth.
The train had traction issues getting out of Falkirk High, but it made. Getting in about 5mins late.

No Heating
It was -5 degrees and the train had no heating. Funny how they have it working in the summer.
Also the network was down in the ticket office, People could not buy tickets. Will mean that they will have to pay the full fare and also the inconvenience of having to queue at the excess booth.
Glad that Hamza Yousaf in on the case?

Drilling a hole in mug
Everything ready. Tape over where hole to be drilled to stop drill skiting. Jug of water to pour over to cool down drill. Drill bit by bit adding coolant in between.
Use a cloth to cushion the mug on a hard surface. When hole appears turn over mug and drill from other side. Put a bit of wood under to protect sink.

Scotrail skipping stops at rush hour
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-37999647
It would be good, If they cancelled a train, they would stop through trains. Especially with winter on the horizon.
Morning Train
Feels like power to one side of wheels. Hope it can brake on both sides. Slow trip. Waiting to get into station.
