And I thought waiting for the bus felt like a long time.

In the UK, waiting for a bus does take 23 years.

On Friday I waited a whole fucking hour for a bus. That was hell enough, let alone 23 years. If I wasn't in such a good mood that day I would have been pissed off beyond belief.

I blame Margaret Thatcher, she is the reason buses are so shit lol.

The differnce between the domestic and international perceptions of margaret thatcher always get me.

I think internationally she is seen as a great person, but in Britain her premiership is seen as a bit of a mixed bag. I think we are frequently reminded that she wasn't that great really. Fair enough she got inflation rates down in the mid 80's, but they sharply increased again near the end of her third term. And she privatised a lot of national services, some privatised services paid off but some went quite badly.

However, one of my major issues with British politics is the way the transport industry is ran and regulated, I hate it. It's not just me, a lot of people think this way. I think privatising the national bus company in 1988 was handled very poorly and is the root cause of a lot of problems that exist in the transport industry in Britain today. I don't mind it being privatised, I can see the point to it, but it could have been done so much better.

Anyway, it was only meant to be a humerous comment and not taken literally.

I know.  It's just somethign I always notice that i find interesting.

 

As for this being a hoax... maybe.  I don't quite see the point though.  I mean all it does is paint that hospital in a bad light...
