So, to avoid all that, you take SAPTCO buses?

You beat me to it John... if you are going to be sanctimonious about exhaust pollution... shouldn't you be riding a bicycle? Laughing

Dear scot47,

Just what you need - great exercise, for both your body and your moral fiber.

Dogs can't ride bicycles. And never take advice from cats.

Whatever you do do not anger the Great Volcano, or I might have to get home to Scotland by bus ! Better be wary of the Great Pumpkin too, just in case.

Very true... perhaps you could take a container ship. Rent yourself a container and live on-board... think of it as a Mediterranean cruise. Laughing

I have a colleague who has to get to Oklahoma ! Now he would have problems if the Great Volcano was seriously hacked off with humanity !

At least I can take the bus, Saudi-Amman-Damascus-Antioch-Istanbul-Munich-Zeebrugge-Rosyth.

cmp45,

I am touched by your concern but feel that two 25-halala coins will not take me far !
