Dear KotL:

I recently changed job, moving from the noble, selfless,
public-spirited enterprise of the NHS, into the sordid world of
commerce. Not that I've discovered that much difference ...

My new employers provide a new car with new job (along with paying for
me to move house), and the company insurance doesn't appear to cover
bikes.

Further, driving said vehicle around yesterday in pissing rain and
howling winds, I realised that, sometimes, c*rs have their advantages.

Admitting the heresy of these words, I confess that I was never worthy
to have a two# to begin with, and can never aspire to be a RTB.

going slightly OT here, but
am i the only one who gets miffed by company vehicle policies. The company i
work for flat out refuse to let me travel to our other offices, for health
and safety reasons (i have the neccessary insurance etc...which they
initially said was the problem...so i got it, then they come back with
health and safety) . I have had lengthy remonstrations with the people who
made the decisions, and basically they have refused to let me go on my bike.
(which means i cant go to one office at all, and the other i have to go to
by train: - i have no car licence, and have no intention of getting one). I
am also aware of other jobs where only travel (no carrying of bulky items)
require car licences. All vaguely annoying. But i shall not be taken by the
dark side.
