Flying scares the pants off meMy wife flies to and from work every 3-8 weeks. And other than an occasional trip we never use public transportation. Flying is bad enough.
I’m in the same boat here. Can’t get a pizza or a newspaper delivered either. Living in the country has its perks but modern conveniences isn’t one of them.public transport dosent exist out here in the sticks, if I cant go in my own vehicle I don't go.
I can get a newspaper but a pizza or any other take-away would be stone cold by the time it got here, not that they deliver here.I’m in the same boat here. Can’t get a pizza or a newspaper delivered either. Living in the country has its perks but modern conveniences isn’t one of them.
you know there is a rail strike on at the moment, Bill, over the use of guards?Public bloody transport I hate it, yet again my wife is stranded in Edinburgh because the 20.03 from Edinburgh has no driver!!!! In the last 6 weeks my wife has made 7 longish rail journeys over 80 miles, 6 of them were late or cancelled. I'm sitting here in the UK at 9.35 pm waiting to find out if the train from Scotland is likely to arrive in England at all tonight, or will she have to stop overnight in Scotland.
On one trip to a conference in Leeds the train was 90 minutes late, but eventually set off, 70 minutes late at York then when they got to Northallerton ( Unscheduled stop) they cancelled the train and turfed the passengers off at a small rural station at 10 oclock at night with no staff or support at this unmanned halt.
Only down south Paul, The strike did not affect the midlands, north and Scotland. Last night my wifes train was delayed 90 minutes because the driver did not turn up for work., the one after Broke down, then a suicide in Stevenage near London stopped the north bound trains.you know there is a rail strike on at the moment, Bill, over the use of guards?
