I’m going to Scotland for Christmas this year
but I just couldn’t face the long drive.
So I thought I would find out the times of the trains
(like ‘departures’ and when they’d arrive)
I rang Richard Branson to see what was what
and I asked if I’d left it too late
for a second-class seat on his Christmas Eve slot?
He replied “I can better that, mate”
He said he was doing this great Christmas Deal -
an overnight sleeper to Perth.
It occurred to me later as utter surreal…..
I’d just booked my own Virgin berth!
