We just need the roads to go with it! In your case, also the time off by the sounds of it! Christine Miles,

It is totally beyond my comprehension why the transport system on a relatively small island like the UK is not first class. You mention the Swiss system which I have also been fortunate enough to experience - just perfect. Heaven forbid that we should learn from others and then the Government has the nerve to ask us to use more public transport which is already the most expensive in Europe. I better stop now - you got me going! Elsie Miles,

They should look at the roads before they do anything else. Miles Cid,

What bright spark was it that destroyed so many tracks in Lincolnshire I wonder? Mind you years ago I overheard some people talking at a party about the state of the roads here... they agreed it took far too long to cross the county and might be awkward for business... they also thought it was a good idea really because it kept people out of Lincolnshire. Bring back the trains that's what I say..... I'm sure the Lincolnshire attitude of avoiding any unnecessary expenditure will suffice with regard to new businesses :) Cid Miles,
