I’m fortunate enough to be able to take the overground to work everyday and do not have to squeeze myself onto the tube at 8.45. I have the pleasure of taking the pink and purple coloured trains belonging to First Capital Connect to work everyday. I am blessed I truly am.
First Capital Connect is a wonderful service charging you through the roof for travelling on their old run-down trains, with a habit of non functional breaks. But First Capital Connect has got wonderful and dedicated staff. Apparently.
For some reason they are unable to sell advertising space on their trains and have to fill the trains with their own posters. With pictures of their super dedicated hard working always smiling staff. These posters are vile. Not just because of the ugliness I discussed in a previous post but because of what they are saying. They say things like
“I get up at 4.30 so you can get to work”,
“I wish my house was cleaned this often”
“I smile at 5000 people everyday”
What are they aiming at? I am supposed to feel some kind of gratefulness towards First Capital Connects staff for doing their job which I’m paying for? Huh? F*ck off. It’s a shit service and you know it, now shut up and do your job.
