QUOTE (Penelope @ Jan 15 2013, 08:38 PM) Anyway, buses are for poor people. The inference that some members of society are actually wealthy enough to make a choice ? Whenever I have seen a bus in Newbury it has been empty so I conclude that there is more disposable income in this neck of the woods than most . Or is it straight forward snobbery .

QUOTE (Jayjay @ Jan 16 2013, 03:24 PM) Well I am not poor, feckless, stupid or been banned but as I take a bus or walk I am insulted by these comments. Well you can't be that well off otherwise you'd drive to work or ride a Bendy Bicycle.

QUOTE (motormad @ Jan 16 2013, 07:25 PM) Well you can't be that well off otherwise you'd drive to work or ride a Bendy Bicycle. Lot of assumptions there. I could be retired. I could be very well off and have a chauffuer or be a politician and have a driver. In fact I work from home, have a bus stop next door but one, and live less than 10 minutes walk from town. On the occassions I need a car, I hire one £20 for half a day. This keeps me quite well off as I dont pay road tax and rarely pay parking or petrol. I dont get stuck in traffic, my transport uses the parkway bridge. I can have an alcoholic beaverage if I fancy it and not bother about drinking and driving.

QUOTE (motormad @ Jan 18 2013, 12:05 AM) I played out the entire GTA 3 Storyline in Reading's Toys R Us when I was just 11 years old. I did wonder where you learned all your driving skills.
