Good heavens, I was going to say something typically BD about how I prefer the wind, rain, abuse, pot holes and bendy buses on my cycle to work but then thought such off-track(!) remarks were unfair to Michael's constructive comments.

But do things really kick-off due to frustration on what, surely, is a less than half an hour commute by rail? BD uses rush hour public transport a couple of times a month, but when he moans at colleagues they take no notice, as from his perspective regular users are immune to the day in day out problems. And as I thought we all agreed, say compared to the Northern Line and Central line, levels of overcrowding on the overground are considerably lower. In deed BD has had some horribly long inter-city experiences where he has witnessed a sort of blitz spirit and love and peace.

BD - still half asleep
