  • A Day In Oxford

    Where to start? And when will it end? I’ll be blunt; I had a bad day in Oxford. Made the best of it, but it wasn’t a good day for me, despite carefully worded dissembling when asked about it by various management team folks. Mostly it was the crush of people & the wall of…

    This story properly starts yesterday, at a leaving ‘do for someone at work. Just one drink turned into more than one, and then another pub. No big deal; I travel light, so packing takes very little time. Then someone found themselves stranded, because their intended place to stay fell through, so the lounge at ‘my’…
