So this evening it took me three hours to get home. Which is good. And bad.
The good; the extra hour of the journey was spent shortlisting music for future episodes of the podcast, sorting out a few talking points for this week’s episode and writing up a few notes in preparation.
The bad; the principle of cause and effect.
Let me explain.
The journey took three hours instead of its customary because a car broke down. It’s that simple.
A. Car. Broke. Down.
One car. Single. Solitary. Solo.
I’m just wondering what this simple statement declares to visitors to this country/continent/hemisphere/planet the unplanned event of having a single car break down on a three-lane highway can adversely affect the journeys of several hundred thousand people?
Answers on a used £20 note please.
B.
