Is hitchhiking a thing of the past in Britain today?


Recommended Posts

I did hitchike to Europe with a friend,my first trip abroad.I was a poor student nurse at the time, we could only afford to stay in youth hostels.When i look back i can't believe how naive and trusting we were with no fear of danger,we were lucky that we were picked up by nice people.

If i had known then what i know now i would never have done it.

Was it really that easy to hitch a lift?

 

Your talk like it's waiting for a bus well a bus that's running on time

 

Yes it was 'that' easy...It was rare that I waited for more than about ten minutes for a lift. It's might not have been going all the way. But usually they would drop you off somewhere where they knew you could get an onward lift....It was just the done thing in my day!

No wonder the police had to cover things up
