Slept in and left the house at 11am, on public transport....
On the bus from East Croydon hit the traffic and the driver wouldn't let us off a stationary bus at a bus stop on a UK road. "I'm not insured mate". Numerous people saw others getting off the bus in front and it was clearly quicker on foot, so two Aussie guys beat me to the lie I was preparing and claimed to be feeling sick and the doors opened, cue a mass exit.

( I was looking at the emergency exit but there were a LOT of Police around and I am sure I would have been charged with escaping from a sweltering stationary bus in accordance with blah blah.... )

Walked a good 45 minutes just in time to see the Virgin / Red Arrows, poor photos but got in OK and had a good day out. The organisation looked a bit iffy though I agree. People were being turned away and I don't know if my bus made it in.
