On 20/8/05, Boris Liberman, discombobulated, unleashed: >> Why didn't they get the train???? > >1. Because at time of booking coach was more than 4 times cheaper than >train...
Apologies Boris, you did tell me. >2. Also because there is no suitable train from Newcastle to London >given the fact that Sunday, at 15:00 or so we are to be taking off for >Israel... Ahar, you actually planned this journey out. I must learn from this :-) > >Finally, now that I've witnessed British traffic jams myself (or >should I say with my own lower behind...), that would definitely add >to the set of my experiences ;-)... This is one reason that I never (ever ever ever) travel on Bank Holiday Mondays. Ever. I appreciate that travelling in a foreign country can be arduous. Locals always look amazed - "You came along the *beltway* at 5pm ??? Are you nuts??" Yeah and it was a walk in the park, as anyone who has ever travelled along the M6 between Birmingham and Manchester will attest. That stretch of motorway is often referred to as the biggest car park in Europe. Thank Jupiter I don't do that one very often. Quality of life is much more important to me in these years I'm living now, and that includes NOT sitting in traffic. If my company forced me to take up a position that entailed commuting in rush hour traffic, I would resign and take up farm labouring. > >Cotty, imagine in 50 years me sitting behind some ultra-electronic >fireplace-o-matic telling my grand children that I actually sat in >British traffic jams... At the moment it brings a little chuckle to my >eyes... Hey you should have that outrageous cackle trademarked Boris. It's a pretty impressive weapon ;-) Hope the trip is going well and it was a pleasure to meet you sir. And Julia and Galia. (Why do i think of wine with those last two??) <http://jobs.gallo.com/whoweare/profile.asp> Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
