Power of attraction

So last night I saw the power of attraction in work. Andy my train buddy and me were stuck in London trying to get home when all the trains were cancelled from Cannon Street. At Cannon Street I knew things were going to go bad when I got close to the station its was very crowded on the streets and there were flashing blues lights of two police cars sitting outside.
No one was being allowed inside the station people were starting to spill out onto the street, there was a lonely guard standing there telling people they were not coming in. No other info as to why all the trains were cancelled the boards had no info just a single train that was classed as on time even though it was 10 minutes past when it should have arrived. I think the coppers were there to stop it kicking off.
I still haven’t found out what happened! Anyone got any ideas, was it because the builders from the commonwealth games have taken over running the railway? I think it might do a better job than the muppets who run it now.
So we took a trip on the hell express or underground as its known, which didn’t go smoothly first tube was a circle line until we got on it then it changed to going to Barking only. Jump off wait for next etc. Andy was grumbling with me by this point about how crap it all is etc. We finally got to St Pancras went into the MS shop there to get a beer to take on the train. The guard would not let us on the train with our ticket he told us we need to get an upgrade Buggers. No free travel just because the service is useless. I bet you are wondering where the power of attraction is coming in well, Andy was muttering about how crap everything is. At this point he opened his can of beer and it was off Nightmare!!! Now if he could just attract the lottery numbers as well as he attracted the crap beer he would be onto a winner.
