Don’t mention the war
One thing I had discerned after the suitcase episode this morning. There was no way I would be able to manipulate my luggage into a cab and then down stairs and escalators at Paddington Station to catch the express train

Twenty hours a long time to sit in confined space, albeit a two-storey one, with 477 people. I knew there was a problem before I left my room at the hotel. Very early I arose to pack and vacate the
