    Thanks Hamish I did just that some 4 weeks and felt quite sane
    It was worse on British rail when we met up in summer

    Ah, but it's all relevant, Rhino. I mean, you're a man of the world; always tearing about. Driving across the moors one minute and crawling your way through a snarled up city the next. You're experienced!!!!! (or so I am led to believe ).

    Me, I'm a country boy. I don't understand city, or even town, driving. When I go to Brighton, I park on the outskirts (Oooops! sorry guys! ) and walk in to the centre. If I drive into Chichester to the shops, it takes me three days on tranquilisers to recover from the trauma!

    Apart from anything else, I'm only a poor ol' pensioner and, wiv me Senior Rail Pass, I gets a nice discount on the rail fare. It's much cheaper for me to take the train than to drive.

    A year of saving the rail discounts and I can order a new kilt!!!

    Hi mate

    Long time no speak. I was hoping for a meet-up somewhere but nothing seemed to happen. Next year maybe.

    Hi Al, I know what you mean, I think life got in the way a bit. Even my friends who live quite close to me have been shamefully neglected, hopefully I'll be able to catch up with everyone soon. Hope things are good for Al and the 'force' is strong within you
    The scary thing is this, I assume that my life will slow/calm down but it just gets faster and more hectic

    I was the same after a train journey that's why I drove this last time. I transferred my angst to the drivers of London by getting lost and doing U turns in the middle of any road I happened to be on.
    It's good to see BMW drivers scattering out of the way
    Cheers Rhino
