I’m driven crazy by transport plans
SO, down south they’ve just done a trial run of driverless buses. In the meantime, if you really want to see a driverless vehicle, just have a wee swatch at the Tory Party.
Seriously, these buses mean the service can operate late at night. So the bus is driverless and the passengers are legless.
Mind you, the safety features are so high-tech. It’s true. It means now you literally cannae throw yer granny aff the bus.
Personally, I’m not convinced about driverless vehicles. Come on, if my taxi didn’t have a driver, how would I keep up with the problems in the world and know they’re all because of immigration.
That said, if one of these driverless buses breaks down, it’s easy to fix. You just turn off the road and turn back on it again.
Though it should be pointed out that this isn’t the first time a company have tried transport without someone in the driving seat. Famously, Ryanair ran an entire airline for a month without pilots.
Talking of which, what about the Ayrshire woman who paid just £46 for a flight from Crete and was the only passenger on the plane. Staff described it as the saddest hen do they’d ever seen. And they still made her queue for speedy boarding. ● Red squirrels traded by Vikings could have brought leprosy to pre-medieval Suffolk, according to archaeologists.
The squirrels didn’t come cheap. In fact, they often cost an arm and a leg.
In fairness, it took a while for the locals to realise they had a problem with leprosy. Given that in East Anglia a man can lose eight fingers and still have 10 left.
