The Passenger

Passengers expect to ride in comfort when they take the train, especially when it's going to be a long trip, but they also expect other passengers and attendants to make the trip a bit less than peaceful.

But should you ever take a railroad trip and discover yourself all alone on the train save a lone attendant you may want to consider getting off at the next station- or you may be in for a long, strange trip of self exploration...

The Passenger is a stylish and poignant animated short created by students at ESMA, the Ecole Supérieure des Métiers Artistiques, which strangely made me want to take a trip by train again.

The last thing I want is to be trapped in a train car with Ross Geller.

"As foreigners advanced, archers would shoot arrows at them through tiny slits in the castle walls that allowed them to see out without letting enemies see in."

Not quite right. It was the foreigners (The Normans) who built the castles.

I didn't know that Britain only consisted of England, that Tesco sold 24 cans of Stella for £4, that you can get housing benefit if you have savings over 16,000 and that you can buy a pint for around a pound.
Oh, because none of it is correct, that will be why.

e0cs0r is correct - the article is staggeringly incorrect.
If the writer of it is British then she lives in a totally different Britain to the rest of us (even allowing for the passage of time).

Also I've been to the doctors several times in the last few years (both for myself, with my wife and with our young son) and I don't remember ever having to wait for longer than about 15 minutes. Appointments are usually available the same day if my son is ill or it's something that can't wait. If it's something non vital then you are usually seen the following day. I appreciate anecdote does not = evidence but it's yet another time when an article does down our (free at the point of need) health service when it's pretty damned amazing!
