Guys,
I hope you are ready for this.
The very first Christmas of my working life (47 years ago) was celebrated with colleagues on the last day before the official Public Holiday.
We were encouraged to visit as many inns and pubs as we could fit into one lunchtime. Although in the UK at that time 18 was the permitted age for drinking alchohol in public and I was 15, ooops.
Anyway, I was not used to large quantites of beer. Large quantities I had.
On my way home, by rail, I started to feel nauseous and dashed for an open window. This was the days before air conditioned, closed window carriages.
Anyway, as I threw up we entered a tunnel. I could see the stream, in the light of the carriage but dark tunnel, it streamed down the side of the cars and, youve guessed it, back into another open window.
I am so pleased that to this day I never met the person who was sitting by the open window. Yuck.
Roger
