Great walls of water seemed to fall from the sky throughout much of the night. (No doubt it was global warming that caused it to rain).

Gorse Fox has to find his way to Reading for a meeting today... Being environmentally conscious - though not fanatical - and alert to the pathetic traffic problems of Reading he spent some time with the train timetables.

Ridiculous. 65 miles from home, and journey times ranging from 2.30 and 3.30 hours with choices involving between 1 and 4 changes. Gorse Fox will therefore resort to his car to take him as far as Basingstoke, then do the last 10 miles by train. Even when you try to use public transport you can only do it by sacrificing most of the working day or your evening.
