It was Margaret Thatcher who was alleged to have said:
A man who, beyond the age of 26, finds himself on a bus can count himself as a failure.

I qualify for my bus-pass today but I don't feel a failure.

  1. If you have money you can spend it to have more time not travelling:

    |<--- NAE MONEY

    * Spend a lot of your time Walking. At least you'll get exercise and fresh air.

    * Buy a bike and get knackered, and sometimes frozen and pissed on. Good on nice days though.

    * Endure slow, unreliable travel and noisy, smoking neds with speaker phones on the Bus.

    * Shell out £££ for faster travel and Drive yourself around.

    * Play Nintendo DS in the back of your Chauffeur driven limo.

    If having the fiscal freedom to spend your way out of tedious wasted time is success, then Thatch was right.

    Of course, a free bus pass is a special case.
