Public service is anything but around here these days. Some brain dead policeman decided that it was more important to get a car out of the hedge than not to block a busy road out of town for 20 minutes in the middle of rush hour. That car had probably been there for hours without hurting anyone!
Went to St. Pancras this weekend. Looks nice, but nowhere to sit. Asked a policeman if there was anywhere to sit, he gave me a sour look and blew me off. Went to Paris Nord. Not as pretty, but guess what - it works as a place for people! Then there's the difference between London and Paris in terms of the Tube/Metro, traffic, and even pedestrians! It was very busy in Paris, but things just worked. Night and day difference to London and especially St Pancras. :-?

So is Paris . . . ::)
I read this weekend that people drive 42 million extra km per year while lost in London. Cr@p signs maybe? What if they had spent all of that money on decent signs instead of numberplate cameras? :-?

Actually I had the same problem at Glasgow train station last week, mind you it was rush hour...

I should have specified, almost nowhere for ANYONE to sit! Actually, once you get into the Eurostar bit there are nice seats but the main station is almost all bare floors.

Who would drive in London anyway? Other than to do burn-outs outside Ken Livingston's Flat.
Last time I drove in london, the only signs were to Dover, Guildford, Cambridge, etc. Really useful. It is being made as hostile as possible for drivers these days, and it started off pretty bad before the current idiot was in charge.

I drive in London every day, mate.... :(
Last week i took a black cab, he had one of them computerised receipts that show the journey start time, end time, and distance covered. This allowed me to calculate that our average speed for that trip was precisely 11mph.
Now this was around midday, at the back of Regent Park all the way to Kings Cross, so not particularly congested or busy, just the usual daytime traffic, zebra crossings, bit of roadworks, traffic lights, etc., i.e. not a bad journey as such.
11mph... I read somewhere that in Victorian times with horse and carriage the average speed was 18mph.

That's the root of the problem, no one around here seems to vote out people that are making a mess of things!? The news centers around London, that way the city as a whole can remain blissfully ignorant of how quickly it is sliding down the list of top international cities! [smiley=thumbdown.gif]
The museums are already panicking after the latest BS from the government. Tate will be half empty in a year with the new 40% taxes on art.

That's due to our system, and the fact that whoever's in power can manipulate it to stay in power.
Plenty of people 'aint voting for the current lot but things'll have to get a lot worse before they go.

Certainly acting like foreigners . . . not voters or citizens with a public duty . . . it's someone else's fault . . . not your responsibility! ::) :P
