I was at Birmingham New Street train station today

[Groupie]

when some scabby old prostitute said to me, "If you give me 20 quid, I'll make you very happy."

I immediately pulled out the money from my wallet and said, "Excellent, can I have a return ticket to London St Pancras?"

[DTCwordfan]

splutter!

[DaisyNonna]

Why a return?

[sunny-dave]

Nope - New Street trains only go to Euston !!

And if you'd booked in advance it would have been a lot cheaper.....

Birminham to London £20 return ? was this the 1950s ?

Sunny Dave is correct and has just spoilt the joke for us.

I think that London Midland sometimes does a £10 return of all of their lines but not all the time.
