When's the repeat? Last week's episode wasn't too bad either.
I think it is repeated on Saturday

You wouldn't believe how difficult it would be for me to get public transport to my work 6 miles away. It takes me 8 minutes in the car, and would take around an hour and a half by bus. No train stations to speak of either.

As for why I found the underground hard, I just assumed I would have a great big "YOU ARE HERE" point to show me where I was and what was open to me when I turned up. I didn't so it took me ages to figure out where I was, and then in turn where I wanted to go.

The fact that the station was full of completely uncomprehendable carribean staff didn't help.

Glasgow has an underground, but only in the good part of the city so i had never used it or seen those kind of maps before. Where I lived there wasn't a train station for miles, and buses only went through the main roads due to vandalism in the inner streets!

I've grown up my whole life in different areas but all of them the one rule about public transport was that it was no use what so ever.

It's repeated at 10am on Saturday.

I enjoyed the show last night. Worst bit was when Tiff was driving the FWD hatches around the track .

Best bit was the bloke who took the RR Phantom to Lake Como for the Classic car show. Wow, what a collection . Staying the night on a camp site with a

Your use of a non existent word in that sentence is just too funny.

I suspect that your accent is as incomprehensible as the carribean staff.

I agree with Bada; it'd be far better if they turned the tracks into cycle lanes or something.

The London Underground was merely invented to give Dante nightmares.

It'd be quicker & safer by hoop & a stick.
