Ha ha!
Here's my 'Lancelike' story of the day!
Mon I decided to go to Chester on National Express for the day. I drove and parked my car near to the Mterolink station to catch the tram into Manchester. I walked about 5 mins to the tram station, and Damn! (Or something to that effect!) I have left my phone in the car. Walked 5 mins back to the car, phone was in my bag.
Walked back to the station, (Think workmen thought I was on the game or something!)both ticket machines out of order, I would have to pay on tram. New ticket machines on platform, which was good. Bought peak time ticket £5 as it was before 9.30am. Stood freezing waiting for tram, when it came, it said Bury? I was waiting on wrong side of platform! I ran up the stairs, across the bridge, down the other side, fell down the last 3 stairs onto my knees, and guess what? The tram was pulling away! At that point I sat on the bench and seriously contemplated going back home! By the time I got on tram it was off peak an ticket would have cost £3! Anyway I had a really nice day, eventually, went on the open top bus around Chester, lovely lunch, and some holiday shopping, also met a very old lady on the coach who used to teach English in a Greek village, very interesting stories to tell.
