Jay! I was just IN San Francisco for the past 5 days on my choir trip, and people there complain about the BART system! They (people we visited) said it's worse than L.A.'s public transportation! As one choir director put it, "at least when you get on the bus in L.A., you know you're going to get to your destination."

I think the UK is now has the most expensive petrol in the world.

I get a train to uni, but drive to the station. Lazy me.

The price of petrol here is absurd, 78.9p per litre? But I suppose the government ministers probably claim the petrol from the public coffers as expenses so it won't affect those miserable gits.

Litre? Petrol? Gits? Coffers? It's like Mary Poppins all over again!

Is there a large "queue" to get on the "lorry" that takes you to the "fish and chips" "shoppe"?

And YES, I realize that people standing in line to get on a truck would attract a few odd stares. That's the point, see?
