Nous ne savons pas…

Il y a une grande probleme avec la compagnie qui dirige les trains en ma ligne: la communication. Quelque-fois c’est quand nous sommes s’asseyions sur le train au centre de nulle part et le conducteur nous dis qu’il ne sais pas pourquoi. Une autre-fois c’est peut-etre sur les voies quand l’ecran lit ‘System Fault’. Hier ca fut au fenetre des billets.
‘J’ai un billet “weekender”. Ou peux j’aller demain,’ je demande. ‘Norwich? Peterborough?’ Paul est encore en Gran Canaria avec Trevor, Jon et les autres, ainsi je voulus aller au cite, ou peut-etre la plage. Bien sur elle sera froid, mais j’ai une grande blouson et j’aime regarder le mer sur les roches quand il n’y a personne autour.
‘Seulement Londres,’ dit la femme en l’autre face de verre.
‘Londres?’ je dis. ‘Mais je peux aller au Clacton et Ipswich avant la change d’organisation qui dirige les trains.’
‘Oui,’ elle dit. ‘C’est vrai, mais maintenant c’est toute different.’
‘Pourquoi?’ je demande.
‘Un moment,’ elle dis, et appele leur surveillante. Les deux parlent pour un moment, et la surveillante s’penche vers la fenetre.
‘Nous ne savons pas,’ elle dit. ‘Avant la change, vous pouvez aller partout sue le reseau, mais maintenant nous sommes en contester avec nos departement de marche. Ils ne peut pas decide si vous etes peremettre de voyager au des places qui vous ne pouvez pas aller avec le billet qui vous utilisez toujours pour aller a Londres.’
‘Si que dois je faire?’ je demande. ‘Peux j’aller au plage ce weekend?’
‘Je ne sais pas,’ elle admet. ‘Vous pouvez encore demander demain matain…’
Je quitte a ce point.
Donc je ne suis pas au plage aujourd’hui, mais ce n’est pas necessaire mauvais. Beaucoup des papiers au sujet de mon emprunt-logement arrive ce matin et je dois ces lire. Peut-etre je vais marcher au centre ville pour une cafe et je peux les lire en confort.
Plus de confort qu’il y a sur les trains ou a une plage froid, toute facon.

Ok without cheating does this have something to do with a crap train serveice where the inspectors don’t know which ticket you can use? And not going to the beach?

Yup, although when you put it that way it sounds like something out of a French exam, doesn’t it.

“Mais je peux aller au Clacton et Ipswich avant la change”
Never before in the long history of the French language has that sentence ever been spoken.

There is large a problem with the company which directs the trains in my line: the communication. Sometimes it is when we are sat down on the train in the center of nowhere and the driver say to us that it do not know why. One formerly it is perhaps on the ways when the screen reads ` System Fault’. Yesterday Ca was with the fenetre tickets. ` I have a ticket “weekender”. Or can I go tomorrow, ‘ I ask. ` Norwich? Peterborough?’ Paul is still in Gran Canaria with Trevor, Jon and the others, thus I desired outward journey with quotes, or perhaps the beach. Well on it will be cold, but I have large a wind-breaker and I like to look at the sea on the rocks when there is nobody around. ` Only London, ‘ known as the woman in the other face of glass. ` London?’ I say. ` But I can go in Clacton and Ipswich before the exchange of organization which directs the trains.’ ` Yes, ‘ it says. ` It is true, but maintaining it is all different.’ ` Why?’ I ask. ` One moment, ‘ it say, and appele supervising to them. Both speak for one moment, and supervising it leans towards the fenetre. ` We do not know, ‘ it says. ` Before the exchange, you can go everywhere known the network, but now we are to dispute some with our department of walk. They cannot decide if you etes peremettre to travel in places which you cannot go with the ticket which you always use to go has London.’ ` If which must I make?’ I ask. ` Can I go to the beach this weekend?’ ` I do not know, ‘ it admits. ` You can still ask for matain tomorrow… ‘ I leave has this point. Thus I am not with the beach today, but they are not necessary bad. Many papers about my loan-housing arrive this morning and I owe these lira. Perhaps I will walk in the centre town for a coffee and I can read them in comfort. More comfort than there has on the trains or is a beach cold, any way.
