When The Machines Knew Better....
If you are a reader of the LondonbyLondon posting then the following will be met with a sage nod of the head and knowing look....if you are wondering just what the f... is she on about, then read on and learn about the day when the machines knew better.
The sweet vending machines on the London Underground (and probably others as well) have the ability to tell you whether it's going to be a good day or not....
If you are near a Cadbury's vending machine, rather than wasting dosh on overpriced chocolate to cheer you up, press 0110 instead and wait to see what the machine says...usually it's OK! No Problems.
After wowing a colleague with this knowledge and thereby explaining the reason why I manically make a bee-line for these machines at every opportunity, yesterday was the day when the machine knew better.
Attempting to travel from Euston to Victoria (what, five stops or so), I duly interrogated the machine on the platform and didn't get the binary version of thumbs up...Hmmm should have heeded the machine as the tube journey then descended in farce with the train being delayed, then destination unknown, then managing one stop and having to terminate with the revised route then being kiboshed by problems on Circle/District etc etc.....
So be warned - if the machine doesn't say it's OK - it's not!

anonymous clearly has tosser syndrome. Of course its logical. Whenever I want health advice the first option I always consider is to wait for it to turn up on my blog. As the Canada geese say. Feeeeuuuckawf
Cheers other anon. Have enabled the "copy the letters" thingy now so hopefully the fuckwits will leave me alone....
