Home CEWAP Mark Thomas 18:30 Club GM Food Car Cats Links		The Coven
		Be afraid, be very afraid.  This is a real coven!  Usually the noisiest end of the buffet car every night, the Coven end should be treated with great respect should anyone wander into the buffet by mistake.  They are not to be messed with by anyone, including (especially) miserable gits who hog the seats and bag ladies.

The Coven stars

Susan Sto-Helit - Recently married to Uncle Belly, Susan is often seen wielding a fearsome weapon (a poker) with which she beats unsuspecting bogey men around the head.  Susan has a black belt in accountancy and manages to drag people down "The Albion" on a regular basis on leaving the train.  We usually meet "Uncle Belly" (though he's not allowed to be called that any more, apparently) in "The Albion", and sometimes Susan's father, Michael Sto-Helit turns up as well.  Susan is a founder member of the Coven End and is to be treated with great reverence by all, especially due to her (other) nickname, "Scary".

Granny Weatherwax - Scarier than Susan, although you have to test it to prove it, Granny is never happier than when she knows that she can go home and relax with a nice cup of tea bottle of red wine.  Granny practices "headology" with a sideline in chiropractic and can often be seen trying to show the "novices" the effectiveness of "The Stare".  "M" tried a "Stare" last Christmas and Granny has only just stopped laughing.

Cousin It - Well I probably should have telegraphed this one better, but we have our very own member of the Addams Family in the Coven end.  Almost more scary than the rest of them put together, Cousin It is particularly fond of Captain Y-Fronts and often indulges in seemingly harmless banter with him. There is currently some confusion as to where Cousin It lives, where she's left her house keys and where her wardrobe is.

"R" - Recently retired, "R" is a dedicated McEwans drinker. With his bad back and new baby, his Lotus could have a limited parking space life, I mean where do you put the child seat?  As an IT expert, he can often be found discussing hardware in the Coven, causing many a raised eyebrow.  His "dress down" day (currently day six hundred and thirty-two consecutive "dress down" days!).

Hamish - Our very own Lllama-loving lunatic is infamous for his Friday lunches which tend to last for the whole afternoon. Hamish is quite clearly a complete nutter and has an uncanny knack of getting both feet in his mouth at the same time.

Shazam - What can I say?  Our very own "News of the Screws" superstar.  An occasional Wednesday visitor, Shazam has a strong set of magic spells with which to protect the coven.  If you ever need to know the real stories behind some of the news items, Shazzer usually has all the dirt.
