That's why I was asking if I could tag along with someone else. I know that sounds daft, but that's the bare bones of it. I should have been trying to get things sorted earlier. That's fair enough but zim sure if you can just get to one of the main London stations you will easily recognise groups of people heading to the march to tag along with.Probably see people heading down on the train from wherever you are.

That's what I had in my head to start with to be honest , then the more I thought about it , and spoke about it with my mrs and my lad , the more I realised that I couldn't even get myself to the nearest town centre on a bus . I'd even thought about travelling down tonight , and just sleeping rough , until it was pointed out to me that I'd get f***ing eaten alive by the natives. I only ever remember going on a train once (twice if you count the return journey). We got a tram from near to my house , and I was lost for the rest of the journey to London and back, on trains , tubes , and buses. My lad pointed out to me , that me going on public transport, is like giving car keys to someone that's never driven before , and saying get yourself to London and back. In all honesty . I'm f***ing gutted mate. I'm not into this kind of thing , but I really feel like I need to be there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
