You can’t make this stuff up

In other news, people are cutting about in filthy coats.

'kin dirtbags.

The feller who cut the other feller's dick off has been given a 5 year sentence. There's more to read if you can stand it https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/chelsea-london-epsom-tottenham-surrey-b1132467.html

Thanks but no thanks to reading about the body mutilation stuff.
@Light_EDDed the aptly named Karin Slaughter could probably make this stuff up.

Shit architect detailing

I agree. People should be cutting about in cleaner clothes though.

In 20 years all the panels will be that grubby and the marks by the benches will blend in.

Who washes their coat though? Unless it’s being reproofed it’s only getting wet in the rain.

This is what comes from letting common people use public transport.

I was wondering why coats are so dirty with your low emission zone.

That’s a grim admission, tbh.

This. Utterly.

Could be wax rubbing off a Barbour, though.

Except the head marks, that's just nasty. Needs an antimacassar.

I was one of the 'greaseball motorbike dispatch trade'. We were not cool.

Must be @wigglywill @Buffalo_Bill and @fruitbat who wasn’t the famous cycling Fruitbat from Carter USM

Wasn't there a TV show about cycle couriers in 80s also?

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan/16/free-money-avanti-west-coast-bosses-caught-joking-about-uk-government-handouts

Avanti West Coast managers joked about receiving “free money” from government and performance-related payments being “too good to be true” in an internal presentation at the notoriously unreliable train operator, it has emerged.

all this while still refusing to give their workers a fair wage increase, bunch of cunts

Train people in Germany are often on strike, trains suck, the boni management got make you angry, the metrics they had to achieve to get them even more.
