f**king well walk then you lazy bastard! You should easily be able to walk it in the same time; and well under 15 mins on a bike.
Tcch. Youth of today....

I can't ride a bike. It actually takes longer to walk, just over an hour in the city. I won't walk 2 hours every day and do Sports 4 times a week. That would require energy and inclination. I have neither.
You wanna walk all that though, Mik, be my guest.

Well said that man! Devote your energy to more productive past-times...like bitching.
I had an hour long bus journey to College, and an hour back. To this day, my spine is lightly imprinted with that horrible paisley pattern you get on EYMS buses.

I walk half of the bus route to save on bus fare (even though technically I still get a child fare for another 3 months, they won't believe me) nearly every time I go to town.
Occasionally, I'll walk the whole journey. So don't bitch, Motz.

Sorry dear, but you obviously didn't notice the sarcastic subtext to my post
Bus fares are horrible things anyhow. How I can suddenly get 80p more value out of the journey home just because I turned 16 is beyond me. Oh well, the student card will fix that when I can be bothered to get it

It's great being young isn't it?

Yes.
Now if only the drivers of public transport agreed that 16 was "young"

I'd tend more to blame the administrators than the drivers but still.
You only have 49 years to go before you get cheap bus fares again as a pensioner

Nah.
By the time I get there, 75'll be the retirement age

If you're lucky.
I saw Ken Clarke on telly last night saying he'd abolish compulsory retirement ages.

If it's down to "can't be bothered" you lose the sympathy vote from me pal.
And bus fairs don't really count as horrible, minorly irritating at best. There's plenty more to come....
