IN THE NEWS
Stuart Thomas gives us his regular round-up of the way the newspapers have covered the transport industry this week.
If Digby Jones makes New Years' resolutions he might take the rest of 2005 off after accomplishing two huge aims even before January began.
Not content with a knighthood, the Confederation of British Industry's director-general has also lost a whopping two stones, according to the Daily Mirror.
This was revealed in an article on "Fat Cat bosses", 10% of whom were expected to gorge on an average eight Christmas dinners over the festive period. Proving that Fat Cats are indeed, er fat, a trouser popping 47% were found to be overweight, with one in ten downing pints every day, possibly of cream.
However, Sir Digby 'all skin and' Jones has apparently bucked the trend, favouring a more svelte appearance over the physical bulk sported by many at the top of their profession.
To motorway stations now, where it would appear scientists have become bored with discovering black holes and finding cures for cancer.
Boffins have declared service station coffee to be so insipid that drivers would have to gulp down 11 pints to get any caffeine kick at all, claims The Sun.
"Motorists might think they are more alert than they are," warned one doctor. But not enough to realise they're drinking coloured water, it seems.
Caffeine is probably not required in the Midlands. According to the Birmingham Post three times more motorists are likely to indulge in a spot of road rage there than anywhere else in the country.
The findings obviously shocked the paper, as it came over all schoolmarmish as early as the second paragraph: "The tendency of Midland motorists to react is in stark contrast to the national picture, for while road rage may be on the increase the majority still manage to control themselves."
That's you unruly bunch of brummies told.
