People I live outside of the city- I do this because its peaceful and I have lots of place for my horsie's! But do the pro's outweigh the cons? Mmmmmmmmmm- not so sure! I have a drive- lets call it The Drive every frigging morning! It's only about 25k's... (Not so bad hey?) Well it takes me 45 minutes to an hour! Averaging an amazing speed of +/- 25/30 k/h!! Sometimes I scream, sometimes I cry and sometimes I sit in a haze of my own smoke trying to calm myself down (before I personally throw cars off the road- I have had the offer before) But in any case- I have taken it upon myself to put an end to the unruly behavior on the roads! (So far I have one accomplice- but we only meet on the road every now and then- My Best Road Friend- I like him- he drives a nice big Nissan and basically reads my mind!) See 'our' plan below:
So when I do happen to meet up with MBRF we are like the A Team! Swerving from side to side- hooting- and much much more! Its fabulous- its so sad when we go on our separate paths after the roundabout! Long faces, a meek toot toot and a thumbs up! I don't know what we would do if the taxi's took a stand because he looks about 4ft tall behind that wheel!
Now you have more insight on why I am a bit 'crazy'! So all of you who can jump on a tube- read a book whilst going to work- count yourselves lucky!

I feel your pain Ali. I do almost the same everyday, but I have tractors and big quarry lorries to negotiate getting around. All this is on country lanes and each of them just go slower at the sound of my frustrated beeping! My journey takes me an hour each way, every day and my BP is constantly on the rise! Kim x x
ReplyDeleteHa ha- well at least I know I'm not the only one!! :) xx
ReplyDeleteDon't under estimate the tubes... the average time to get to work is 40mins - 1 hour; being stuffed in to a carriage of 150+ people every morning and evening rush hour; personal space is non existent, being pushed and shoved at every stop and stall; smelly breaths, sniffing and BO! Fighting others to get a seat, which can get quite messy. And then there's the stampede of people getting in and out of the stations; hips have been broken! It's each to their own, no room for the weak and kind... tube rage ;)
