In which bus, train, bicycle and walking are clearly inferior to the Great God Motor-Car.

Yesterday at work my boss asked if I would be willing to work for three months at another unit within my NHS Trust. The unit, in a neighbouring town, is having some staffing difficulties.
It is some ten miles away and is served by frequent buses. It is just two stops on the railway, and I can walk or cycle at the other end.

If it were summer I would cycle all the way.
So that's easy then. 

Er, actually no. The modern matron did not want me because I do not own a car.

Lucky she does not know who always arrives first at my regular place of work or she would look stupid.


*  Update.  A few days later one of our qualified nurses was an hour late for work as she could not remember where she had left her car keys.
