| I’m standing here at a petrol station on the main south coast road between Brighten and Eastbourne in the County of Sussex. It’s a very busy road; so many cars stop here to fill up with petrol. Let’s talk to a few of the customers. Let’s start off by talking to you, Sir. How much metering do you do a year? Not very much, just going to and from work. Do you have more than one car in you family? Yes my wife got a car as well, yes. So do you find motoring expensive? I suppose it’s pretty expensive really. Yeah, but there again I again I suppose, if we went by train, you know, that’s probably a bit more actually. I would work out more. Do you think that we ought to be encouraged to us public transport more? Oh, very much so, actually. Perhaps it makes it cheaper. Yeah, I’m very much in favor of subsidized public transport. I mean I think really we will be better to keep cars off the road altogether. Thank you very much indeed. O, Thank you, Right. And here’s the lady filling up her Nissan car. What do you like about this car? It’s easy to drive, and economical, easy to park because it’s small, and it got quite good. What about the driving on the road? What do you think the standard of drivers that you meet? I actually only passed my text last Thursday, so I don’t really think … Congratulations! I don’t really think that I’m ready to criticize other people yet. Thank you. Thank you. Well, here’s a taxi driver, sir, you must do quite a lot of driving! Yes, I do indeed. How many miles do you reckon you cover a week? About seven…eight hundred miles. What are the British drivers lie? Are we good drivers or bad drivers? In a nutshell about 85% of them out here have got the IQ of a carrot and… What can you say? I’ve come out here everyday and everyday somebody teaches me something else that they can so with a motor car that I wouldn’t have said it was possible. Marvelous! Thank you very much! You’re welcome. Safe travelling to you! Thank you! Bye-bye! |
