WyattSheepMask Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) I’ve borrowed my mum & dads massive fan while they’re away on holiday. 4 settings, and the top one sounds like a plane taking off, but it makes everything so cold, its amazing Edited July 26, 2018 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted July 26, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 26, 2018 9pm this storm is meant to be, starting to look very grey outside now. Hope it comes through. I'll be gutted if it doesn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted July 26, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted July 26, 2018 The lovely Greater Anglia lay on the train services on my route to work. Just this year they've introduced trains with air conditioning (and WiFi, fuck you so spoil us). But this isn't every carriage. I might see one carriage a week over ten commutes. Today I saw one on my train home, so I thought I'd have some of that. What a mistake. The doors close and it's apparent the aircon isn't working in this one. Because it's an aircon carriage there are no opening windows. So I'm in a crowded glass box for 45 minutes. All of us are dripping wet within seconds. There's standing room only I should add. My phone's temperature app reads 32°. When we get to a stop people go to get on and immediately retreat. By the time I got off my shirt was wet through. Gross. I passed the time by seeing tweets from just about every person on that train venting their anger. Absolutely inhumane and really not worth £4k a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted July 26, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 26, 2018 Jesus fucking what? You pay four grand year to commute? These rail franchises are a fucking racket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 27, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2018 Yep, mine was £4k until I no longer needed to get the tube, now it's £3.5k. The aircon on the Greater Anglia carriages have been a joke, and I get on the nice Stansted Express trains as they stop at Harlow. We've had so many instances this week where the train formations are reduced to 8 carriages (usually 12) for our journey, which has been annoying but could be worse if it wasn't the 6 week holidays. However, on a couple of occasions we've had 4 carriage formations- a THIRD of standard capacity. You can only imagine the amount of sweat dripping from every fucker, pressed up close to one another in this heat. I'm just thankful I don't get the Central Line anymore, it must be unbearable on there. We just had rain! It was quite a heavy downpour, which lasted all of 5 mins. This is further evidence that we are now a tropical country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 27, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Yep, we've got a bit of a monsoon shower here now. I think it's good the trains cost that much, as we'd have even more Essex folk in London if it were cheaper 😘 Edited July 27, 2018 by Chest Rockwell And yep. Now it's already stopped. Give it 5 minutes Gus and you'll be clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted July 27, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2018 It's very stop-start at the moment. I think we'll have a lot more this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 27, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 27, 2018 It's been on and off here. Had a couple major deluges, and enough thunder to have this wimp of a dog following me around everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
