I would like to share an experience with you to do with drinking and  driving. As you know some of us have had brushes with the authorities on our way home in recent months. Well I for one have done something about it. The other night I was out for dinner and a few drinks with some friends. Well, after having far too much vino, and knowing full well I was wasted, I did something I’ve never done before. I took a bus home!! I arrived home safely and without incident, which was a real surprise, as I have never driven a bus before.
