if I don't qualify for the olympics its southeasterns fault

So Thursday night I left work at the crack of 5:30 and put a little jog on to get to Cannon Street for the 5:45. I had a cunning plan get home put my trainers on and go for a little jog.
All part of my Olympic training schedule, a quick little 3 odd miles before dinner. But the best laid plans of mice and me can always be completely cocked up by public transport.
The train got to just outside Grove Park and stopped. Broken signals were the cause, which the southeastern guard was at pains to point out was not southeasterns fault. We don't maintain the tracks we just use them.
Thank god we have someone like Bob Crow to make sure the tracks are kept to the highest standard and no useless dead weight gets shed from the well organized and run railtrak.
