Whoever came up with those two words to describe the slowest possible way of getting home in an evening? Rush hour?? Were they having a laugh? Being sarcastic, or just trying to annoy the hell out of road users like me?
Tonight I spent 20 minutes queueing along a 1/4 mile stretch of road, just because there were so many cars trying to use it. Being 'rush' hour, an alien would expect everyone to be able to rush from A to B. Oh no. Instead we crawl off from A to a bit further than A, and then we crawl from a bit further than A to an even further bit from A, with no sign of B anywhere.
AND...what's with every major route into and out of my fair city being halved so that buses can travel quickly along their designated routes while the rest of us have to queue. Surely my road tax pays for the upkeep of these roads that now I can't use. So, therefore I should be receiving a reduction in the cost of a vehicle license.
Shouldn't I?
