Train catches fire - passengers alight

I had a meeting with the accountant today and instead of driving to Glasgow decided to stop in Edinburgh and take the train thereby avoiding hassle.

Hah! I got to Queen Street for the return journey to find that due to a train fire at Edinburgh Park all services were subject to severe delay. Fortunately someone at Scotrail with a bit of initiative (how did he/she slip through the net?) had decided to run extra services from Central. OK it takes 90 minutes instead of 50, but at least you get there.

The meeting with the accountant was productive. Basically the loss we made in our first year is largely down to depreciation. We make a different loss for tax purposes (a bigger one) because some items of expenditure can be written off for tax purposes. Confused? I was/am.

Our (new) project manager and architect have been in touch and it looks as if things are moving forward again. What a difference a week makes!
