Good luck.
I wish i had a public transport option  :sad:

You could move somewhere more civilized  you know, but if you will insist in living in bandit country.....  :grin:

Asker has a bus pass so it doesn't cost anything except several months off work and lots of pain. If you lived in my neck of the woods which is in a city centre you'd pay £4.00 return each just to go into the shopping centre. f**k knows how much it'd be to go right accross the other side of town.
Buying a cheap runabout car makes far more sense than using public transport in most parts of our third world nation.

Yes, that Freedom Piss Pass is a very worthy little credit card looking object. I don't worry about mpg or fuel costs anymore. I might even buy myself a car with a V12 for the heck of it.

Talking about Third World and stupidity. The council are spending thousands of pounds on upgrading the footpaths through our park. They were pretty perfect IMO. But the adjacent roads are full of pot holes. How fucking daft is that? Now I can't take a short cut through the park to the tube station.  :angry:

Got the car back today. Perfect job. I'll drive to work tomorrow.

London Transport has been a shambles.

Sunday, the District line was buggered. I had to catch a cab to a Picadilly line station to get into town and see the grandchildren. Car was in the bodyshop.

Tuesday, (1) Bus I was on got a flat tyre, (2) got stuck on the Jubilee line and had to walk along the tracks at 10 pm.

Today, Wednesday, at 4.30 pm, the Central line broke down. I had to catch this line to get to North Acton so that I could collect my car. Eventually I did!

Thursday, tomorrow, is another day!!!!

At least I did not have to pay for my transportation: a small blessing.  :rolleyes:

Asker

Wait until next week, you will not be able to move in London.  Don't know how far away you live from Westminster area but you can bet all cars and people will be checked more than once by our officious constabulary.

Not flipping likely. I'll go for the inevitable divorce. Like father like son, like mother like son ........  :evil:

Do you think Grandma will buy them a Mercedes S Class?  :evil:

Thursday, today: Drove to work on the A40 (Westway) through London for the first time since the January 3. They imbeciles have dropped the speed limit from 50 mph to 30 mph. No one was driving at 30 mph and neither did I. It's a motorway and it is dangerous driving at 30 mph!
