to think if you live in surrey sussex kent, home counties i spose and you work in the city

[LucyLasticBand]

you shouldnt complain about the trains!
you want the best of both worlds.

Ah so this is what a truly stupid, pointless thread looks like.
funny

I'd imagine it was old people retiring to the seaside to start with. But OP, where do you want these people to live, they have to live somewhere.

OP next time you care to start a thread about a
thought that pops into your head, can you think about constructing your argument first before posting it in Aibu?

Very odd. Words written down in a jumbled fashion, making little sense.

'Cause your talk crap OP.

no one understands me

I still think the OP is jealous of people she thinks are well off. I can't make any other sense of it.

Yep.

why would i be jealous of commuters

I am trying to work out if this is a 'everyone should have something crappy in their lives and commuters have a naice home and job so trains are their crappy thing, so live with it.'

Or 'it's always been Crappy so live with it, we all do. How dare you presume to expect better.'

Or 'you don't belong here, bugger off!'

Thread.

Maybe if you try really hard and think, you might work out why no-one understand you. But i'm not holding my breath.

qite right We are detective

it has always been crappy so go away and commute from somehwere else.

There's a village somewhere in possession of both an internet connection and it's idiot.

You blaming incomers? To the south east?

Blimey. The south east is made up of incomers. By about 90% I should imagine.

that was so funy chipped

But WHERE do you want them to live?

I see your point, OP. It's like moving to the country and complaining about all the mud. Though I will admit that I'd do that. The country would be way better if it was cleared up a bit, and I agree with India Knight that there is not much that can't be improved with a few more shops.

South East workers who weigh up their options and choose a lifestyle involving travel, and then complain about said travel is a bit daft - in theory.

Thing is, OP, you have hit the enormous well of resentment that lies just beneath ground level placidity in the modern South East Worker. Many of us cannot afford to live anywhere near where the work is. Many people feel coerced into living in places with bloody long commutes, just in order to keep a wage coming into the house.

It's interesting . I once had a friend who wrote a SF book premissed on the idea of a commuters' revolution. She gained her inspiration from a moment in Victoria station when she realised how angry people were.

no no i dont live in the commuter village anymore, it is far too expensive.

Why do you think nobody understands you?

Is it because you think you know something the rest of us don't? Or is it because you are being illogical and just focused on YOU rather than the bigger picture.

It's a rarity that if you have 100 people, 99 in agreement and 1 who isn't, that the 1 who isn't is right. If there was more in agreement with you then you might have a point

phew, thank you thecat. you understand me

OMG! Seriously??!!

Have you thought that complaining about it might help make it better from everyone??

Just an idea

This

Ignore ignore ignore. The OP is obviously spoiling for a fight, some may calling it trolling actually.

But it's not like moving to the country and complaining about the mud. There is a huge variety in the quality of service in these areas as well. I used to live in Reading. Service was pretty darn good actually (except you'd never get a seat by the time the train got to Reading). I now live in NE Essex. The service is poo. The line has been underfunded for years. Despite the moaning pouring in from the commuters and the constant weekend disruption in advance of the Olympics. It is shocking. The commuters have every right to complain. They are paying for a service they are not getting. Where they live matters not a jot to that. Mainland Europe manages a more efficient public transport system - why cant we?

i dont think i'm spoiling for a fight but it seems i am being shouted down.
