| Jane | How are things, Ron? |
| Ron | Not bad, Jane. I'm involved in too many problems and it's a long working day, but I'm used to that, so it doesn't bother me too much. |
| Jane | How do you like commuting to London every day? Don't you find it a strain? |
| Ron | It was ghastly at first - especially getting up before dawn to catch that 6.30 train. But it's bearable now that I'm used to it. |
| Jane | Don't you think it's an awful waste of time? I couldn't bear to spend three hours sitting in a train every day. |
| Ron | I used to feel the same as you, but now I quite enjoy it. |
| Jane | How do you pass the time? |
| Ron | In the morning I just sit in comfort and read the
papers to catch up with the news; on the way home
at night I relax with a good book, or have a nap, or
chat with friends or even have a game of bridge.
|
| Jane | I suppose you know lots of people on the train now. |
| Ron | Yes, I bump into someone I know on the platform every day. Last week I came across a couple of old school friends and we spent the entire journey in the bar. |
| Jane | It sounds like a good club. You never know, I may join it! |
