Yes. You draw it on the chart or the whiteboard for the next person to find.

Eurostar has defended limiting the amount of alcohol passengers can carry on its trains as necessary to "maintain a pleasant environment".
The train operator explained its position after customers complained on social media about changes to the policy.
It allows one bottle of wine or four cans of beer and no spirits.

Today I'm being paid overtime for the hours 9am-1pm. Which is a bit odd as I'm here anyway.

Were they wearing trousers?

How many questions do we get?

That feels very much like bullying

On TV BEFORE Midday?

She’s not really a presenter, more a comedian. I’m assuming presenter to be a regular presenter, not a guest presenter on HIGNFY, because sportsmen, politicians etc could all be labelled presenter thstvway.

Wait, is that a question for me?

Also, Jo Brand is totally a presenter now.

I can't remember the last time she did (or tried to do) comedy.

Yeah, I fell for it. Giphy "hook, line, and sinker": https://media3.giphy.com/media/nMvAcBkswTAK4/giphy-loop.mp4 Now I'm in on the joke, I think I might pass it on sometime - when the moment's right. Or just buy Cras's t-shirt.

Well, here's an example of a company completely not understanding its market and customers: BBC:"Eurostar defends alcohol limits on trains" Quote: Eurostar has defended limiting the amount of alcohol passengers can carry on its trains as necessary to "maintain a pleasant environment". The train operator explained its position after customers complained on social media about changes to the policy. It allows one bottle of wine or four cans of beer and no spirits. The problem is that unless you want to pay £30 and faff around with their baggage despatch service, under this policy there's no way to carry a case of wine (for example) home. On a service that most people lug their own suitcases on to, you'd be breaking their rules even if you have no intention of drinking six bottles on the trip. If the problem is people drinking too much on the trains, the staff already have sufficient powers to deal with it. The Twitter-rage suggests that it isn't being enforced very much, but still adds a layer of anxiety about getting stuff confisicated onto something that's supposed to be more relaxing than flying.

It’s a fantastic level of overreach. The only reason they’re scanning your bags is for weapons and that’s also the only circumstance that they can find out you’re packing spirits. That said, I’ve encountered far more obnoxiously drunk people on my handful of Eurostar journeys compared to the many flights I’ve taken over the years.
