Ooh, yay! I... I will not be spoilery and tell you what I think of 'Maternity Leave.' ~virtuous~ 2.14 IS a very strange episode, though, so I do not blame you for being all unhappy with it.
Oh! Also, I meant to tell you in a previous comment that about eight years ago when my parents and I had a big holiday to England and Wales and Italy, my Dad bought us each a great big first class Britrail pass, and I felt like SUCH an idiot tourist. :(
However, after the first train journey or two, I decided that I really kind of like first class because they have comfier seats, fewer screaming children, and there are porters who BRING YOU TEA. I admit it was actually the tea that made me fall for the first class wastefulness, though.
I think within a week I had a horrible sense of entitlement and I was actually quite pissed off when I had to travel from Llandudno or Bath to York by myself on a train that had no first class section. No tea on *that* journey... though there was a lovely little girl-child in a Teletubbies t-shirt, and that made up for it a bit.
Also I went from Durham to Wolverhampton first class once when I was really ill, but really I think the general bleakness of Wolverhampton made up for the opulence of my journey. Maybe.
