Good old FT's - bring up the subject of busses and the expert comments come pouring in. It's surely a compliment to our profession - you'd never find such a level knowledge from other ex-pat groupings!!! Maybe we should create a sticky on the price of tickets?????

It's the weekend, little to occupy your SOL, and you're bored. I pose the question, "Do you think being an FT is a profession?"

[Sonnet]

If you were moving to another town/city in your home country, wouldn't transport links, shopping, eating, and access to banking/postal facilities be things you'd want to know about?

In my experience, such things can be even more important to know for those moving to a foreign country; they're useful for that humdrum thing known as everyday life, and can reassure people that they're not moving to the middle of nowhere in a backwards country.

And, um, why the snobbery about buses?

snobbery - nawwwwwwwwwwwwww
perception of expectation, lifestyle, and social status of the FT - yesssssssssssssssssssssss

Nothing against buses and bus routes - but I would hate them to become a typifying factor in describing the FT and their job expectations

Exactly what has any of this got to do with the original question asked? It has degenerated into a nothing thread.

[colonel]

Well, it's a nothing thread now.

It brought on a good laugh, so it's not good for nothing. (Like those double negatives???????)
