Twink, Why should l have to do all that?
Why aren’t l entitled to go about my way and enjoy my life? Why should l add to the global destruction by taking my car?
Saying, ‘Sorry, l need to finish my book’, sounds very rude to me. I could not do that as l am very polite and l find that quite an ignorant thing to say, actually.
Twink, I think you are being unrealistic! We are talking about over an hour of non stop, one way conversation here, not a fleeting, ‘Hello, lovely weather today but we could do with a bit of rain’!
