We had long queues everywhere as well, but luckily I didn't get caught up in the madness.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103598810361847905.post-36442716471248694792012-04-07T20:28:10.362+01:002012-04-07T20:28:10.362+01:00You sound very sensible.why are you not PM?You sound very sensible.why are you not PM?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103598810361847905.post-13483427202478933732012-03-31T20:44:35.633+01:002012-03-31T20:44:35.633+01:00It's a bit scary, isn't it?

The political thing, I mean - altho the petrol scenario is also something to be concerned about, considering how many crazy people there are loose in the world. <br /><br />Our city planners are debating about Light Rail Transit (LRT), which is above ground vs. an underground subway train extention. So far all I have seen on the news is one side throwing bricks at the other (not literally, but it won't be long), and calling each other the worst names imaginable - like a bunch of hooligans. Of course if they were discussing rationally, there would be nothing to show on the 6:00pm news, so maybe they are getting paid to act like hooligans - who knows. It's just plain scary to think about who these people are and what is ahead for our city. <br /><br />The recent Air Canada strike hit home for us, as OD (older daughter) and her family were trying to get home from the UK in the midst of it and sat on the tarmac in the plane for over five hours waiting to take off, and that after three previous flight cancellations and an overnight in a heathrow hotel. The stewards/esses were extremely rude to the passengers, many of whom were teams of young soccer players who were, by contrast, extremely polite and well behaved. My worst nightmare would be to sit on a plane for 5 hours before a 7 hour flight -- and all because many of the pilots 'phoned in sick.'<br /><br />I think snafu and AJ should run for office!kaybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808550103489943108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103598810361847905.post-67113294432402252012-03-31T18:07:33.592+01:002012-03-31T18:07:33.592+01:00I feel sorry for that lady, rather a harsh punishm...I feel sorry for that lady, rather a harsh punishment for not knowing quite how dangerous petrol really is. We get used to the idea it is just that stuff we put in the car and not something akin to a nepalm bomb. If petrol driven cars had become common after Health & Safety came on the scene, no one would be allowed near it.snafuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07588812293454033077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103598810361847905.post-7784785329302500152012-03-30T21:56:51.100+01:002012-03-30T21:56:51.100+01:00You might get evens on it - it's a fairly safe...You might get evens on it - it's a fairly safe bet. <br /><br />The 'last minute tax revenue' hadn't occurred to me. Good point.<br /><br />And I'm assuming you've heard about the woman who decided to decant her illegally held petrol store in her kitchen..... while the cooker was on. <br /><br />You can't legislate against idiots.MorningAJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719744167307369768noreply@blogger.com
