Rant number 259
Yes, it's another one of those transport based rants. Really I would love to get from A-B without having to put up with all of the C floating imbetween.
Ive been helping out a band today an part of the journey has been by coach. So what is it I hate about coaches?
To start with, coaches are just like buses that you hire - and thusly they have some of the same pitfalls to bear. Just because you are part of a group or people, it doesn't really guarantee that you are going to want to spend any number of travelling hours with them in the confines of a coach.
Then there is the fact that coaches are cramped. It's like being in an aeroplane that moves along the ground instead of flying through the clouds. You never get enough leg room to be comfortable (bearing in mind that I am famously a man with really quite short legs) or bottom room - if you share with any grown adult.
Then there is the most exasperating way that all coaches are described as 'luxury' - which is code for hot and cold running air and a seat adjuster. In what other context would that be considered as luxury?
Then there is the speed, coach journeys always take longer than they should - even though they've only got to go from A to B.
I shall be glad when I arrive, that's for sure!
Rant over.
