My head's stuck in the cupboard

Sweet Jesus!!

I left work at 5 o'clock and I've only just arrived home. It's 7.30.

I don't know what was happening in town but the traffic was insane.

It usually takes half an hour from the office into the bus station and it took an hour, then I sat waiting for the number 53 which didn't come, and didn't come, and didn't come and eventually I heard someone asking one of the relief drivers what was happening and she said that for some reason Sheffield City Centre was gridlocked. "I was supposed to be the driver for the 6 o'clock bus," she said and then pointed to the other drivers that were hanging around, "and he was the 10 past 5 driver and he was the half past five driver".

It was 20 to 7 by then so I decided, bollocks to that, and walked home.

It takes me about 40 minutes to walk home from town and I didn't see a single 53 bus in that time. If I'd decided to wait I'd probably still be there.

So now I'm going to drink tea and eat toast for a while.

What else as been happening....I can't think of anything. I think I'll to make some more toast.

I've known that to happen before. It's crap.

At least you're home now.

The last time it happened, there had been an accident on the Parkway clogging up one end of the ringroad and another on the other side of town so the ring road was screwed which clogged up the centre of town.

Sheffield is peculiar like that

Argh! However, there is a sort of grim satisfaction in NOT seeing your bus all the way home, once you've committed to walking. Glad you're not still stranded there.
