Day one - Monday 13 September: a travel disaster

I live in Nottingham but commute to London most days - a trip which usually takes a little under two hours. However, Monday was a disaster. The trains were completely screwed up and I eventually just turned tale and went home, having completed an utterly pointless round-trip of five hours.

I still hadn't eaten, more to the point. So I headed to McDonalds in Nottingham city centre and had my first supper: a Chicken McPremiere meal with diet coke. Which was surprisingly nice, although my mother did always say that hunger was the best sauce.

Dinner was a bit of a culture shock. With Big Macs you now get the choice of fries or salad. What happened to tradition and the American Way? Anyhow, I had the salad, with a fruit yogurt for dessert.
