OK. Its evening here and I've been luxuriating in watching a replay of "Hockey Night in Canada" (Detroit Vs Chicago, Stanley Cup play-offs) and Don Cherry was talking about Bringing Back the Biff.
Well played sir! But now onto the Memorial Cup and the Halifax Mooseheads Vs Swift Current Broncos. Time for another AFF lexiconic excursion. And sorry again, the question may be serious but I'm struggling to take the topic seriously. But to respect your interest, here goes (hoping you aren't quietly taking the pi**
).
Like I said, personally, when I think about "public transport" I think of government owned busses and trains, I guess where there would be a government obligation to provide a certain level of service. Melbourne type privately owned trams and trains? Yes, probably "public transport" but meh, don't care much if that's inconsistent or not.
Dunno why, just do. I might say something like "We can get a cab into the city or take public transport."
Planes to me are just planes; aerial transport; flying; even when Qantas & TAA were government owned, I never thought of them as "public transport". The fact that they are available to the
public for
transport doesn't come into it. For me. And I reckon if you said to some-one "I'm taking public transport from Melbourne to Singapore", you'd get a funny look.
The Defence rests m'lud with a very nice Russian River Zinfandel in hand.
