ahh train journeys to and from dundee - they rock lol.
i was once on one from dundee to glasgow and there was a family on the train. kids, parents and grandad. the mother pulled out a packet of jelly babies and started sharing them out to the family. the grandad announced he wanted a black one so he could "bite the n*ggers heads off" - now, he didnt say this quietly - the whole carraige heard.
at (i think it was) Gleneagles a 'travelling person/hobo' got on the train with his dog. the grandad started giving him foul looks and uttering things under his breath about the guy.
when the ticket inspector came along (after the train had started) he asked the hobo for his ticket but he didnt have one. the grandad let loose on the guy shoutign "freeloader" and stuff like that, much to the amusement this time of everyone on the train.the hobo got booted off at the next station with a rapturous applause from everyone too.
its worthwhile being on a train after work on a friday from glasgow to dundee(bound for aberdeen). cos you get gusy going up to start their 'month on' on the rigs etc so you get some mad banter on those trains. and you usually get handed some tins of tennents too hehe.
