Yeah I need the wakeup time too :P Coffee or even tea tends to give the artificial version of that when really needed though!
They don't run on time, the're expensive, when they do run the're damned slow or break down and the're mostly full of peasants. Similar thing with buses. Public transport is just one of my pet peeves I'm afraid. When the transport minister or some other 'holier than though' cabinet minister is sitting in his jaguar telling me to get on a train, it just makes me want to drive more. And In my car I don't have to sit next to an old lady who's wet herself or some kid with a BO problem...
Flame away at me for not being 'green' or whatever, but I work damn hard and have made sacrifices to be able to keep my car on the road, so I'll use it all I like. And i'm not of the school that global warming is simply down to human's either, so my conscience is clear. Besides that, getting the train to where I work is not really an option...
I think it depends where you live. If you lived in London, there wouldn't be the option to use the car as much. I drive to work at the moment, partly because there's no public transport that goes there and partly cos i *can*, but if i were living back in London, i'd definately use public transport - everyone does, it costs too much not to in both time and money.
Jeremy Clarkson has a lot to answer for.
Nah, I agree with a lot of what you have said. Public transport just isn't good enough to attract people from their cars. :thumb:
Sorry, like Calvin said, that was just the Jeremy Clarkson in me. Harsh I suppose. But I meant the rest of it!
Yeah, it's different for Londoners I guess, but that's another thing I'd never want to do - live in London...
You get used to them after a while, but diving at them as they are closing is a skill which must be mastered over time.
