I am not paranoid, well not much, just believe that we are being screwed good and proper.
Public transport is all good and and well if it tends to go in the direction you wanna go.
I'm under 6 miles from my work but it would include a minimum 2 buses and a lot of walking if i chose that option.
Train lines run vertically whereas i need to travel horizontally on a tube map so i would have to go down into the West End then back up again, then another long walk.
I've seen the shit cyclists go through as well riding into work so forget that idea.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
