This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Quite apart from anything else, I don't think it's appropriate for you to be screaming "cunt" at a young mother. You know, in front of her kids.

This morning I commuted. A couple of vans drove too close to me. I tutted. On Cambridge Heath Road a woman drove past me eating a bowl of cereal but I managed to stop myself calling her a whore. I was 10 minutes late for work, but it was 6am so no-one noticed. The sun was up, it was OK. I am 25 years old. Thank you.

I wish I were 25. Getting old(er) sucks.

Anyway, the child in the buggy would not have understood a word of what I said.

And I don't share this 'reverence' for mothers that seems to have taken hold of society. Why should someone get respect just because her vagina works and she got shagged without contraception?

I'm 47.
