Looks like you are viewing it from the perspective of a daily commute! I'm amazed.

>I don't recall whining, I was simply stating a fact, the market is declining, particularly in the UK - accept it.

Actually you are stating an opinion; I really shouldn't need to point that out. Regarding "accept it". What is that? Are you directing me or is it some pathetic attempt at baiting me?

>Not really....but Newquay is certainly not Cornwall IMO......
