Desperate Dan sits in the first class carriage. Clearly his days of cavorting and pillaging are over and now he is living in luxury, travelling first class on the FCC to work in London.

Desperate Dan doesn’t wear a red shirt, a cowboy hat or spurs. He wears jeans, bright white trainers and a poloneck with a gilet over the top. He does sport designer stubble, which is quite a good sign that he hasn’t abandoned his former life completely, although the mobile phone probably needs to go.

There is a man on my train who looks like Desperate Dan.
