@jonpsp I feel your pain, but must admit I filled my car with Diesel in #Basingstoke on Thursday. I have a funeral to attend in London and need the miles next week.

I checked public transport but it would add four hours to the round trip, mainly because of dodgy bus connections, a single bus once an hour notorious for not running...

So what am I to do?

We ain't all devils.

PS. Car did under 2.5K last year.

Apparently the people of #Basingstoke are not bothered about shortages or cost of #FossilFuels. I have never seen so many petrol/diesel cars on the inter-estate roads leading to the A30 outside of rush hour as there are today. It took several minutes before I could consider crossing the road

@tfnhomes I heard a rumour that the Hounsome Fields development in #Basingstoke was approved by Highways on the basis that the pre-existing congestion on the A30 was so much that people living on the new development would be prevented from joining it during rush hour, so the development would make no difference to traffic volumes. Obviously they didn't bother even starting to build the shared use path to link the development with the rest of Basingstoke until years after people moved in.

Not what you expect to see in the middle of an industrial estate in Basingstoke – an attractive building designed by the great Victorian architect Edward Lutyens.
