Umbrellas & summer frocks kinda day

The traffic leaving Manchester hit a new peak of fucking ridiculous, I left the office at 5pm and reached the motorway, a whole 1.6 miles away, at 6:40pm. It is rapidly reaching the point where any sane business will relocate out of the centre & the city will have only themselves, and a stupendously unreliable rail franchise, to blame.
I used to get the train on the days when I was office based, but too many delays made it impossible to rely on.
This country, and more so this city, is becoming a laughing stock and an unmitigated disaster run by fucktards.
