Just wondering do you get them over there?

I'm getting sick of them here in Auckland, just one car accident seems to cause all sorts of delays when going to work or coming home:(

Hi Kiwi Bowler

Get some terrible traffic hold ups, only takes a small incident and they are queuing for miles
The Christmas Shopping doesn't help instead of using the park and ride which runs every ten min they will queue for hours bumper to bumper even thought the signs are saying car parks full
Cant understand it makes it more difficult for people who are trying to get home from work takes hours just to get a couple of miles [ (http://www.worldbowler.com/bowls-forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=192&d=1229447697)

Hi Blondie,

Now what you mean about traffic jams, I wonder why no one is working!!!
You would think that going during the day you would be able to at least get into town!!!

Bowling tonight getting down to the last few rounds of the County rounds, thats if I can get through the traffic!!!

Keep your patience Blondie and no Road Rage!!

Yesterday they had a really bad crash on the way into Truro, it was on the roundabout right beside Treliske Hospital
It was a van which had gone right into the back of a bus and both the people in the van were trapped had to get the firebrigade to cut them out, luckily no one was killed but the whole of Truro was blocked for about four hours
Sometimes these things happen but how do you run into the back of a bus its big enough got to be careless driving
Somebody had a bad start to the Christmas Holidays :(

Yes I believe so and I think it only came in earlier this year

Have only recently brought the bus passes in for Pensioners in Cornwall for a while we could only use them in the County
Now if you've got the energy you can travel free anywhere in England
Was wondering if the Government were trying to kill us all off to save money by encouraging us to travel in our old age

Only Joking Folks Surfer :cool:

Good Evening All you Bowlers I for one am not going to talk about bus passes or pensions us girls have been out for Christmas Lunch today and are feeling very Merry Indeed we have been deciding what is top of the list for going into our Christmas Stockings

Hope all you men will take notice Bottom of the list is kitchen appliances voted least exciting

Top is Hunky men we were wondering where to find them but would settle If Hubby made more of an effort instead of lazing in front of the sport on the tele What do you think girls what will you find in your stocking ?????

Hi Mary

Don't think the men in our lives have any idea what we would like, every year without fail ( bless him ) I get a body shop basket, really nice products but my cupboard is full of it, there is only so much peppermint foot lotion a girl can use would love something different but come Christmas morning I will be sitting there with a big grin pretending its a wonderful present and I am thrilled :rolleyes:
