Whatto! Weary travellers.............
I have often found that public transport generally is in quite a poor state...........
Several people who I have spoken to say that they are unhappy with the general service and reliability...........
Luckily we have a personal chauffeur so I don't find that I'm directly effected.........
but I experienced it first hand on Saturday night and it was nothing short of.......
HORRIFIC!!..........
We went to the pub to watch some live music and enjoyed the general ambience and atmosphere as vintage wine and vodka flowed freely.............
Everyone was in high spirits and the general mod was spectacularly good!...........Eventually the band finished their set for the night............. and everyone began to consider making their respective ways home.............
It was then............. that the QUANDRY FACED US!!.........
And I began to ask the vital question "What choice is there for people?"a) at that hour of the night?
b) who live in a little village miles fom anywhere?
I watched in utter amazement as (before my very eyes) people improvised their transport measures!!.............
Some crammed into the boot of a taxi (I'm not sure if they get reduced fares for the inconvenience of having to travel lying down).............
And although they all took it in very good spirits............... the final result looked more like and exodus from a disaster zone than what honest decent people should be entitled to expect in this day and age!!
Others took turns with a mobility vehicle......... 
.......until the batteries were finally worn out!...........
Some chose to put their transportation worries to one side for a while.........and simply DANCE their way home!!!......
Others just began the long, desperate and exhausting CRAWL home on their hands and knees............. Ouch!!!...........
Some simply claimed 'Squatters Rights' for themselves and made a comfortable place on the patio for the night!!
So PLEASE!!!..........Write to YOUR MP demanding improved public transport for villages NOW!
Tallyho!
Best wishes- Lord Noel
