Its like people who buy a house next to the railway then complain because they've got trains running past the bottom of their garden. Mind you, remember a phone call I had one day from an irate guy. He'd just moved into a house right next to the Suburban line in Edinburgh . . . . seems the seller told him the line was shut! It was (and still is) the main route for freight passing through Edinburgh and a diversionary route for passenger services.

Great research by the BBC - There's an Arriva bus through Hamilton to Leicester City centre every 12 minutes! (Took me all of 5 minutes to find out) If it's a 15 minute walk to his nearest bus stop I can only assume he's in shackles! Oh yes - there's also a Tesco right on the bus route....
... In Hamilton! There's also a Sainsbury's and a Supa sava and several takeaways. It's also less than 15 minutes by bus from the City Centre so hardly out of Town.

Bit of a Tangent- but on the radio this afternoon they were talking about the report on the Today programme about people on Ace Inhibitors being 30% more likely to contract Cancer! Now if true - this extremely worrying!! But today this report was blasted by a medic because the reality was (and I’m quoting from memory so the figures may not be exactly right) that the study showed that 9.4% of patients on Ace inhibitors developed cancer whereas only 9.12% of patients on another drug class developed cancer. So whilst that is a 30% difference - it is meaningless because the 0.279% difference is insignificant as it is within the error bars of the study. So why on earth did the BBC decide to run such a biased and skewed interpretation of a study? Could it possibly be that the BBC is Biased and Skews the “news”? |

This is a typical Towny problem or more precisely non problem.
About 3 doors up from me we had a couple move in from London as they wanted to live in the country, the day after they moved in they were asking where the nearest bus stop is and are there any shops closer than the ones in the village? When I explained there was a bus stop about a 10 minute walk away and those were the nearest shops they seemed shocked. They explained they only had one car and prefer not to use it but might have too if the bus was that far away . Do these people not research anything before they spend all that money on a house or do they expect the country to be the same as ''town'' but with more trees and grass? Wait until they find the last bus is 8.45pm and the village shops shut at 6.30pm. |

Our place isn't too bad, small number of shops, pub, bus stop 10 minutes away I don't think that's too bad.
I used to live in the middle of nowhere up until 10 years ago, no shop, pub, bus stop etc even the next village had only a takeaway. Oh and there was no way to walk anywhere. no footpath, no street lights, hedges tight to the road. A car was pretty much compulsory. |
