For no reason whatsoever I thought of this question.. I don't think I'll ever get it answered unless I am bored enough to do it myself.

How long would it take to use public buses (not National Express and such) to get from Lands End, to John O Groats? How much would this cost in bus fares?

Whilst there are no definitive answers, I suppose we can speculate. A route maybe starting at Penzance to Truro?

A long time.

A lot of money.

God I wish I had time to worry about stuff like that.

It's terrible.. I've had sleepless nights asking myself all sorts of things... such as... why do I have so many crap things to say.?

Mind you, with First Bus company it would be bloody expensive.

This week we learn that First Bus have risen the bus fares leaving many people frustrated.

Would it be rude of me to say "Please don't bother waking up"?

/\ Not rude as such, merely a bit direct.
