Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

have just finished reading Martin Hayes' 'nide (CM February 23) entitled The Long, -lard Night" which I found most annoying. agree with a number of criticisms that ilr Hayes directed at the coach companies )ut the point which really annoyed me was )n page 52 which read "Well, it is not )ossible to work a full day on either side )f a night coach trip."

I found this most amusing as I have just :ompleted a similar experience that makes Or Hayes' journey between Edinburgh and .ondon look like a joy ride. Because of he railwaymen's strike. I was forced to ravel from Gloucester to Newcastle by :oach, which took an overall journey time if slightly over 18 hours. I will not, iowever, go into the faults of our national oach service, but just add that after rriving in Newcastle at 7.10 am on Monday had to do a three-hour exam that morning, vhich must have added to my mental and hysical stress already obtained by the coach )urney. As I am a student, I know that iany fellow students travel by overnight oach and are still able to do a full day's dark afterwards. Therefore, is Mr Hilayes ither used to a very good standar8 of welling or is he mentally/physically nfit?
