Bounced off a FEW trains because of repair issues? My. That makes British rail sound rather decrepit. I'm glad you made it safely. I was in Wales for a day on some kind of American Express tour. I don't remember it except my mom bought a hedgehog knickknack that might have been made out of coal.

I wonder if Jasper Fforde's books have prompted anyone to put up a sign saying "Welcome to the Socialist Republic of Wales" That would be funny.
