A beautiful day, much too nice to stay in and have a do bugger all Monday! Kev had a message to say his hoodies had arrived at Asda West Bridgeford, so we went down there to pick them up. As always the buses were all over the place, and we were talking to a lady who was headed for a train and because the bus was late was going to miss it. I felt so sorry for her, it's disgusting that they can't run a half decent bus service for this area. Not everyone has cars or can afford taxis everywhere, and no one seems to care that they keep sending us all the trainee drivers to this route and taking the more competent ones onto other routes. Yes, they need training somewhere, but why send them all to one route, the sense of that is beyond me. Ours is one of the most expensive routes without the price cap. For us today it wasn't so much of problem we had no deadlines or appointments to keep so we could get whichever connection turned up. That is so liberating, we went to Asda got Kev's parcel and did a food shop. Nothing earth shattering, basics and the like. Then went next door to The Wolds for lunch. Note to self do not go on a Monday, they've obviously had a busy weekend as the food choice was a little limited. We eventually found something we both wanted at the third attempt. I think it would have been easier for them to tell us what they had in the first place. But the food we had was good and it is a nice place.
We managed to time the buses back alright catching a 10 back to the council house after a 6min wait and a Cotgrave at Trent Bridge after a 3min wait. So they can get it right of occasionally.
