MP train scandal


Setting: South west trains service to London Waterloo. Freya is sitting in the quiet (not for long) carriage when an entire class of 12/13 year olds get onto the train. The kid sitting behind me calls over his teacher to show him something.

Kid: Sir, is there an MP called Jacqui?

Teacher: Yes - Jacqui Smith

Kid: Sir, sir, she has left her mobile number on the train.

Teacher: What?

Kid: Look, it's graffitied on the back of this chair "Jaqui, MP, Buckingham Palace, London, Mob: 079....(etc)".

Teacher: I'm pretty sure that wasn't written by Jaqui Smith MP. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't graffiti her personal contact details on the back of a south west trains chair

Kid: I don't know sir, I've heard that they do stupid stuff like that all the time....



How right you are kid, how right you are.....
