This #train is full of #tea ! Thats my kinda train. I guess some of the wagons at the end have milk and there’ll be an open wagon with sugar.

If you’re still wondering why so many #UK #universities are in financial trouble, this explains why. Hard to think of any other sector of the economy which can’t control its own pricing!

I think I might have identified the problem with Welsh rugby’s preparations this past few weeks.

They’ve been practising for a tennis tournament.

Pubs worth abt £34bn to the UK economy. (But cost a shed load to the NHS, of course).

Universities abt £135bn.

Pubs can raise their prices whenever they wish.

Universities can’t.

So, I am a) still on the train, b) still bored, so here are some more photos of my cycling in Pacifica (which, as the name suggests, overlooks the Pacific).
