BBC Taxi thwarts Paris trip

Well, investigations have revealed that apparently Agent "F" didn't make it back to Paris last night as the BBC booked car didn't turn up at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane to take her to St. Pancras International. So she reluctantly had to return to HQ last night and take a train today with Agent "C".



However...... a few minutes on the interweb has revealed that .....



1) A Black Cab hailed in the street would have taken 10 minutes to reach St. Pancras.

2) Walking would have taken 26 minutes

3) The Piccadilly Line (Covent Garden Tube Station just 250mtrs away) would have taken just 11 minutes.



All in all, it was lucky then that Agent "F" had left her clothes strewn across the floor of Agent "C"'s bedroom on Saturday night!



I have added a picture of the conveyance that Agents F & C clearly assume that we all arrived on. (Not quite what the old saying refers to, but its the best Google Images could do..... and I'm sure you get the point).
















Luckily Agent "S" and I were just loafing about at home and could take them to the station, but really Agent "C" could have mentioned his requirements for a lift to the station when he arrived on Thursday and not just assume that we are all just waiting around to take him somewhere at a moments notice.
Super Nan was here, but she should have been out at lunch but decided not to risk the icy roads. Given the fatal car crash on the Cressex Industrial Estate, it became clear that Super Nan had made a very wise decision not to go out. Agent "C" must learn that strangely the world doesn't revolve around him and the 6 Ps rule... i.e. Prior Preparation and Planning Prevents Poor Performance!
