Some bloke wrote:I caught the 1043 to Gloucester (1009 Weston-super-Mare to Cheltenham), and things took a turn for the bizarre at the first stop when I was joined by a "family": two women of around 20 and 40, a teenage boy, two younger girls who kept their distance from the rest, and a man of about 60 in a spectacularly gold-braided cap which said "US Air Force". He certainly wasn't American, but periodically shouted "tickets please" through a loudhailer down the train to the rest of the passengers. This was as sophisticated as his conversation became, other than to mumble something about Asda to his kin and occasionally berate them for their awkward behaviour. They replied with a similar vocabulary. They seemed harmless, but that may have been because I knew I'd be getting off at Gloucester.

Fuck, I knew he'd change his mind when he sobered up.
