Insanity department

To see insanity at its best -- visit Britain!
A few days ago the newspapers reported on the case of a university professor who intended to travel by train to Durham and went off with the correct ticket. However, en route he decided to cut his trip short and left the train at Darlington, about 35 miles short of Durham. Now the train company has threatened to sue him for equivalent of about $200 for breaking his contract with the company, meaning the agreement to make the journey specified on his ticket. So he’s being sued for giving the company a gift of a vacant seat for 35 miles. And this from a train company which is happy to cancel trains when it feels like it and then runs for the small print. What a country.

I saw that one
It swings both ways, last nights local news reported on a woman in Barnsley who refused to sell her terraced house( owned for 40 years) to the council who planned to knock it down along with all the others on the estate (project ?) to make way for a new development. When asked if she was worried about them knocking all the houses down around her she replied "not at all that will make mine a detached and so itll be worth more"....good for her.
I had a phone call from my Doctors surgery saying my appointment had been cancelled could i make another, so i asked for another ..... the lady said sorry i cannot do that you have to ring the surgery???, so i rang straight away and the same "Lady" took my booking god i was spitting feathers.
