I have just returned (by train) from a team meeting in Birmingham.
The majority of this team rely on cars to get to the places they have to (audit visits etc).
These team meetings always end with an all paid for hotel,meal and piss up where the conversations often revolve round the difficult driving experiences people have had/will have in getting to here and then home. It feels almost like , if not a communal celebration , an embracement of their dependancy (e.g. what the company car/the next company car tech specs are).
Shared miserable driving experiences - this resigned acceptance like the waiting room of patients with debilitating/terminal illness.
Apparently there is a 'more than one person car occupancy' lane scheme in operation in some part of the road system in Birmingham.
I had complaints about this too.
Yes seriously.
I pragmatically saw no constructive point in mentioning rights or privilege.
