Sort of productive day
Took the day off, didn't actually write anything, but what I did do was what I had been deferring too long which was dig into various piles of paper stashed in inconvenient places to try and find various research materials that had suffered the fate of things that one comes across and thinks interesting but not relevant to whatever the current matter in hand is, stashes for future reference, and then can't find.
I'm still not persuaded I've found absolutely everything (I was sure I had a little pile of photocopies relating to An Obscure Organisation that I didn't manage to turn up); however in the process I did come across other things that it was useful to resdicover.
Yes, yes, the cobblers' children go aye ill-shod.
There is also the factor that I don't really have anywhere to lay out things in coherent piles when undertaking this sort of exercise, which meant I ended up putting several items back into a pile when they should have stayed out, but at least I managed to retrieve them after a certain amount of angst.

In the realm of how does this make sense in C21st -
My dr rdrz will be aware that there was serious Travel Fail on the part of a railway company over The Festive Season.
I put in for compensation and did, in the event, get back vouchers for full refunds of return fare.
However, I now discover, having occasion to want to book tickets, that these can only be used at an actual ticket office, i.e. not when booking online like a normal person in 2014.
WTFBBQ.
