You are the very definition of a "Whinging Pom". ;-)

Whinging is complaining about stuff you just don't happen to like. Thats
different to complaining about a ****ty service you pay through the nose
for. I doubt many aussies would put up with the same kind of **** train
service we get in this country.

Some comments on the London Tube on a TripAdvisor thread last month:
"The most efficient transport system I've had anything to do with"
"not one delay, not one closure ever.........so I am in awe of the tube !"

- both from Aussies!

That would count for something if there were never any delays or
closures.

In this case, it just makes them an unreliable witness. Best not to
put them on the stand.

Unreliable? Why? It's their opinion based on probably more journeys than
Boltar manages to do, and since he only travels by tube in inclement
weather when both road and rail performance will be worse than average,
it's his evidence that is unreliable.

Boltar is one of the few people in this newsgroup with the
intelligence and common sense to hate TfL and everything and everyone
connected with it. I'd trust his evidence over that of some worthless
TfL-apologists any day, no matter what country they just happen to
come from.
