| That is what you were implying.

You infer incorrectly.

You infer incorrectly.

|
| Of course you do, whilst whizzing past at 90 km/h.

You obviously have no idea of a Drivers work day. What I said stands.

problem
| since then.

You infer incorrectly once again. If *everybody* who posted on this topic
had said they didn't have a problem then you would be correct, but as they
didn't, you aren't.

only
| those using Berowra would be affected, and then, only once every six
months.
| So we have 1000 people experiencing a problem once every six months. That
is
| reasonable in my book.

Only if it only happened in out of the way places, which it doesn't. It also
happens at busy locations including Cental and can affect thousands in one
day.

| And we *know* how much sense the media makes.

Doesn't detract from the fact that your wrong again.
