Football Fans
The journey from Seattle to Exeter took 25 hours, not including the 8 hour time difference. From London to Exeter you travel by train via Reading. The day we arrived in England also happened to be opening day of Football season and Reading had a home game that day. That means we got to share the first leg of our train journey with a LOT of soccer fans.
The train ride from London to Reading is about 1-1/2 hours long. The four fellows across the aisle from us drank at least 2 liters of beer each. There was a fellow sitting behind me who had two cans of Fosters (one for each hand) going at a time. When we got to the station at Reading it was like there was a mob, with the chants and everyone just drunk as can be.
Had I not been traveling with two guys at this point (we ended up on the same plane as one of sweetie's friends) I would have been severely intimidated. I'll stick to being a baseball fan, thank you very much.
