Me mum has got a very limited bus service now...

Far from ideal, considering that the government promised not to cut rural bus services if they were elected, but it's better than nothing which is what she would have had a couple of months ago if the village hadn't got together to get a community bus a couple of times a week but she's very reliant on my brother now.

I haven't seen her for 7 years and we haven't got a car now so we can't go over even now, so she's making the best of a bad job.

It's hardly fair, is it... Steve sees his sister every week, his family every 6 weeks when we go and get our hair cut and he has conversations with his brother on Skype at a moment's notice, yet I haven't seen my mum for more than half a decade!
