I'm being a grumpy old git I know. But how often do people ask a pretty simple question, and if they just typed a few words into Google it just comes up first hit. I won't quote threads, but recently I couldn't help thinking... why not just look this up yourself... A bit lazy? Or just me?

Google will tell you that my nearest station is at x but I know that buses between x and my village are few and far between and non existent on a sunday, what I know is that the best station is y because there is a direct and regular service between that place and my village. Google will also tell you that the best public transport route to my local city is via one route but I know cost wise it's better to go another route. Google can give you facts we can give real life experiences.

Noooo! You didn't catch me with that one AgentZigzag, I clicked that shut very quickly. (Just as well seeing as this is a company laptop. Grin)
However, nice try, you too can have cake. Cake
