Wheres the community.

I'm sat on the bed at this moment in time, writing this blog, feeling knackered already and it's only Tuesday. What is it with todays society, everything seems to be rush, rush, rush, 24/7, with no time to even s**t. Time seems to be of the esscence, everybody clock watches, apart from my boss, who doesn't believe in things like dinner breaks, or the end of the working day. It's a little bit easier now that he's got repetative strain injury from cracking the whip.
The main problem is the fact that you have to travel everywhere. Travel to work, travel to the shops, travel for leisure. With this generation being greener than we were, you would think that traveling everywhere would be a no no. If my shlong was as big as my carbon footprint, i would be very happy. Anyway, what i am thinking is planners and developers seem hellbent on building everything in the middle of nowhere so you have to travel.Why can't they start thinking about bringing everything back into a community. I can remember when you could walk down town, pop into the local shops, eg greengrocers, butchers, bakers, even a shoe shop. You could walk or cycle into work. The whole community seemed to gel together. Now when you walk down town, it's either to grab a quick takeaway or sell the house. No one semms to know anyone anymore, we just don't seem to have time for anyone, everyone seems to commute during the week so it's a ghost town most of the time. So come on local government, lets get these communities back together and think green.
