Ware Oh Ware - disgruntled

Ware Oh Ware

Overheard on the train:

Ticket Guy: Tickets please

Passenger: I'd like two singles to Ware

Ticket Guy: Two singles to where?

Passenger: That's what I said.

The old ones are the best ones, don't you think? No? Ah well, it amused me. Perhaps you had to be there.

Ah I remember Furze Platt well, from my Maidenhead commuting days ...

Furze Platt, Cookham and Bourne End, change at Bourne End for Marlow....

*goes all nostalgic*

It was a bit of a hole, though

The notice greeting, or rather warning you, out side
the town limits used to read-we re told:

' ware
WARE.

And on the way out, just as simply:

Was
WARE

Hmmm. Reminds me of a pub up in Buckinghamshire with a sign outside when you've overshot:

'You have just passed the Pineapple'

painful
