Modern life is crap (continued)

Yesterday morning, at 9.15, I jumped in my car to drive from my hotel in the centre of Bristol to a meeting less than two miles away. According to Multimap, the journey would take exactly four minutes. 

One hour (60 minutes) later I gave up the battle with the city's unfathomable road network and returned, defeated, to the hotel where I abandoned the car and called a taxi.

I now understand why so many people choose to jump from the city's famous suspension bridge. Yesterday morning, at 10.15, I came THAT close to doing it myself.

It would, at least, have been an appropriate way to end things. I'm sure you would have been in breach of all manner of regulations. Your fall might even have posed as great a threat to anyone passing below as passive smoking is alleged to pose to non-smokers. If it is any comfort, having been stuck at God-forsaken Bristol Parkway yesterday, I reckon you got off lightly!
