[BtD] I am indeed honoured. And it has casued a giggle around the office :o). I bet I lay the first egg!

I've found in the past that if you phone a rail enquiry helpline more than once and ask the same question, you'll get different train times and fare prices.

[BtD] I'm putting my virtual money on flerdle for first egg. Can we have a photo of the three lovely ladies?

[BtD] Don't think so. Occasionally Virgin Trains think they can get away with not stopping at minor stations like Manchester Piccadilly. [Boolbar] I'm going to try again later. At first I wondered if I'd got one of these outsourced Indian or Taiwanese call centres, but it turned out the chap I was speaking to had a Geordie accent. I feel slightly bad about talking to him. In very simple sentences. Just to make sure. My query was understood.

[BtD] I have met all three of your chickens' namesakes and despite not having conducted a full medical examination, can assert with reasonable probability that all are female.
