“KAOS”

Today was KAOS in many ways:

1) Bus to Primark in Poole to return a few things (local one is good, but Poole is a better experience). Didn’t know which card I’d paid with. The receipt nos didn’t match my cards. Cashier waited patiently and then rechecked for me. I said it had to be one of two. None matched

Found the transactions on my current account statement. Asked the cashier to try the card linked to it. Took some persuading - she explained will be declined as wrong no. Guess what ….it worked. Took 20mns to sort. Why is everything so complicated?

2. Poole bus station was KAOS. It was tipping it down and everyone had made a mad rush to get home. Massive queues. Had the bright idea to take an empty No 15 which initially follows the same route. Got off at Parkstone where we transferred to an ‘M’ bus.

3. Roadworks further on causing KAOS. See blip. We were at a standstill for ages. Bournemouth is hopeless at times, often a nightmare trying to get across.

NB Non English speakers - the correct spelling is CHAOS.
