Dear Debbie, living in (Hope). Not that I have ever experienced such delays (I avoided the New Year's Eve fiasco caused by our silly Mr Brackish) but hey, at least we have trains. Although you do have trams (old Melbourne and Brisbane ones) parked at the Tradesman's club where I had a rather nice Chinese meal for lunch and a few lovely pots of "Old", but yours don't go anywhere, unless you count the Earth's rotation as a means of travel.
