I told you I'd make an effort to leave a comment here.
I really love what you've written so far, and am looking forward to the next one. Nearly two weeks in suspense because I don't know whether you walked back or took the bus. If public transport on New Jersey isn't spectacular, I really hope you walked back. smiley - biggrin

Crikey, you can't go about mistaking Jersey for New Jersey round these parts. smiley - yikes There are people on this little island who would campaign to bring back the death penalty for crimes such as mistaking one of the British Isles for a US state! And a glass of smiley - redwine is no excuse. smiley - biggrin

As for whether I caught the bus. That will have come down to how good I am at Bus Stop Pontoon.

Glad you're enjoying reading. I'm enjoying writing. smiley - smiley

Blimey, just a small lapse and the islanders would have me crucified? smiley - yikes
I really haven't a clue how that 'new' slipped in there, but it did. Mea maxima culpa.
I'll make sure it won't happen again. smiley - biggrin

For maximum effect, you could ask a Jersey resident if they have electricity and cars, or whether there is truth in the rumours about everyone on the island walking around barefoot. smiley - smiley

I've read that asking if they have a Post Office seems to get some of them riled too. Not sure why though.

Must be careful what I say. One of the 88 residents might be reading. smiley - run

You're not talking about Canada perchance?
Rumours have it that they still live in igloos there and are quite behind modern development. smiley - laugh

*Makes mental note never to ask if there is a Post Office on Jersey*

Do they have a Post Office? smiley - biggrin
