changed quite a lot BUT dont the council wallys look into the future road
use with an increasing number of cars using them? I would ride a bike to
work insted of a bus but the standard of driving in nottingham has a lot to
be desired!
Just one questin though...Why is it that the city taxi drivers prefer to
chat to their mates on the roadside of their taxis and not the pavement
which im sure would be a lot safer
failing that im sure most readers will have the answer to the meaning of lfe
which im told is not 42 !!

Nuthall Island. Not helped that it's on the Broxtowe/N.C.C. border
and each council passes the buck to the other to do something. And
it's only going to get worse with hundreds more homes being built
round there.
Crown Island - ouch.
The A453 - Boots should lay down an ultimatum, tell Notts they'll
leave unless something is done.
Speed limits on the A610, part of the ring road, Low Wood Road, the
Hucknall bypass.

yeah right - they are putting a route into bl**dy Hucknall - which
already has the Robin Hood rail link
Why not Arnold? They shut down the North Nottingham tunnel about 30
years ago - and now we're stuffed
C'mon NCC sod Hucknall - lets have a monorail service to Arnold..

Oh joy - it'll be just like Lincolnshire - pointless speed traps
everywhere
How about the police putting speed traps on residential streets to
prevent ppl speeding nr playing children (And knock the limits down to
20) thus saving lives rather than harassing motorists - and raising
the limits on main roads to more than 30 (Everyone does 40 on
Mansfield Rd into town anyway - so what is the point of a 30 limit)

Amen to that, I have to drive down the embankment on many occasions, the
speed limits 20mph, but you wouldn't believe it by the way even the
ambulances/police cars or fire engines drive down there & the roads
basically through a park! No police cameras & only once in 10 years have I
known of a speed check taking place down there. Now if the Police were
serious about public/childrens safety you would have thought that they would
have done something, even the dreaded road humps, but no they go on the ring
road, often between Queens Med. & Crown Island northbound, a reasonable high
speed route, with a cycle track, where hopefully no parent would allow their
kids to play. I know what that looks like to me....

Well, your drivers are a bunch of miserable bastards.
fatkatz
And i quote....." with the clocks going forward tomorrow will the buses be
running at the same time"???
Who is the sad bastard now ????
Now you know why some drivers have an "attitude"news:MPG.1346b5e93...@news.f9.net.uk...
fatkatz
Although i may seem a "SAD BASTARD" i still say please and thank you to ALL
my passengers .So think on sir ..there are still some drivers like myself
who have endured being swore at, spat at ,attempted robbery and assault
resulting in financial hardship due to the company saying "its nothing to do
with us attitude" Could you rply via this newsgroup how would you feel if a
total stranger came up to you and swore at you ,spat at you and gave you a
good thump,or in some reacent case stabbed you with a screwdriver yes i did
say a screwdriver ..how would you feel ???
Ok not all people are bad but when someone gets on a bus expecting to travel
for free or at a lower price than you paid for the same journey how would
you feel?
In matter of fact only today i had a woman who trys the same "scam" of
comming on with no change but will a purse full of £10 and £20 pounds notes
and asking the driver if she can pay at the other end? untill someone comes
up and pays for her ( just about every time!) Then ,on a midibus lights up a
fag ?
how would you feel about that??
This is just but one of the things a driver of today has to face with
little or no backup from the company her or she works for !
If any of the people who moan about N C T or any bus company wants to
take up driving then id recomened it as it will soon open your eyes to the
fact that bus drivers have more responsibility with less pay !
Ok maybe ive gone on a bit but its so easy to criticize people without
thinking "why"
Before i go on this one .if you want a job with N.C.T then there are
alot of places to be filled, im sure anyone who has traveled on a n.c.t bus
will have heard the radio message asking for drivers to stay on to cover
shifts standing!,
but ive seen quite a lot of new drivers who quit after the first few months
because of the attitude inflicted on them by some passengers which is
something you would not expect in other jobs.
Enough moaning ect ect my advice to you is be nice and civil to them
and im sure it will work wonders ..moan about where the last bus was and
blame him for it and im sure you will help to create a ,as you say ,a
"miserable bastard"
Mind you was it not "Dan brusca" who moaned about buses not running on NEW
YEARS DAY ?. Yes even we want to spend time with our familes over
christmas/new year period.
Lets just leave it at that otherwise james windsoar will come back !!!
Dan Brusca
> P.s
All good point, none of which detract from my original statement that NCT
drivers are "a bunch of miserable bastards". You've given reasons to back
that comment up.
> Mind you was it not "Dan brusca" who moaned about buses not running on NEW
> YEARS DAY ?.
Well, no, it wasn't.
I had three week holiday then so wouldn't have been bothered. Personally, I
would have been rather pissed off if they had made you work that day.
