Breakdown

[Greynomad]

A report just in says that a train had a breakdown in the London Underground.
The driver radioed the next station to alert them.
“Euston, we have a problem!”

Don't say that Ray, we're going there in May.
We were in the Paris Metro in 2006 when everything stopped for a while. It was exactly one year after the London terrorist attacks.

On the subject of travel:
There has been a solid ad campaign by a travel-booking website with a name that sounds a lot like the name of Toyota’s people-mover, Tarago.
The ad, with several re-cuts, promises to save you the most money by using them to book your hotel/motel/whatever.
Funny thing:
We recently booked a holiday hotel stay interstate.
The ‘sounds like Tarago’ site not only didn’t find us the cheapest hotel, their cheapest quote (for the SAME hotel) was the most expensive one of four sites we tried!

Caveat emptor!

Yes, we found the same thing when travelling, a few years back.
I seem to recall the ombudsman or something like that gave that mob a stern telling off a couple of years ago. Obviously it didn't sink in.

ps. While I was typing that, their ad came up on my TV — TWICE!

[supersparky]

Same here, and I just hate it.

I first thought it was an advert for teeth whitening.

An easy mistake!
Both ‘customers’ look like sharks out of the water!
