Speaking of Worst Group
 
Knowing that the South Western franchise is up for tender again, I
tried some experimental Whois searches, just to see what I could find
out.

Worst Group seem to be claiming Royal approval!

Isn't that Buckingham Palace's postcode? :-)

James, you've let the cat out of the bag - we all know who's the domain
speculator on this newsgroup now! You trying to buy up any possible
future first franchise domain name?!

I see they've already got firstanglia.com/.co.uk, but
firstmidlands.com/.co.uk is for the taking. I think that's all I can be
bothered to do right now.


The postcode above is almost that of Buck House - it should be SW1A 1AA
(i.e. the above is missing an A).

firstsouthwestern - by appointment to HM The Queen?

Nah, I was just trying to figure out which of our beloved rail
franchise behemoths was bidding... :)
