　　Well, that was...er...that was a different story.
　　Because I had to get to Victoria. ...um... you know, to get to Getwick and it's...er... from...er...Victoria to Getwick's three quarters of an hour.
　　Then I had leave home at 7:30 and get up at 6:30.
　　Oh, gracious me! So I'm not sure if you can save much really.
　　Jet travel,my goodness me!
　　It was worth the experience, though?
　　Oh, I mean, you know.
　　I've never flown across the South of England
　　and it really looked absolutely fantastic, especially as we proach...approached Plymouth with this sunshine and it looked really marvellous...marvellous.
　　Well, when you come up next time, would you be coming the same way?
　　Oh, I don't think so.
　　I don't... to be honest. Hello, isn't that ...Annabel!

　　Douglas came up by plane!
　　Oh, have fancy!
　　Well...this was a nice train, you know, very modern and comfortable.
　　And of course loads of trains about every hour I think.
　　Oh.great.
　　Did you get something to eat on the train?
　　Yes, thanks, yes. Had a nice lunch.
　　Oh, it's wonderful, you can sit there drinking your soup and watching the view go by.
　　I bet it's a... it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the plane.
　　Well, actually, I thought it was quite expensive.
　　...um...unless you've got, you know, a student card or something.
　　Oh, those days are long gone!
　　But it was quite... quite crowded. I was...I was glad I've booked a seat. you know.
　　Yeah, yeah.
