Greetings all. I'm car free and have been since I left my parent's house nearly 20 years ago. I'm afraid there isn't any deeper meaning behind this than I've always lived in cities/towns with decent buses and in a country with a phenomenal, if somewhat tardy, rail network so never saw the point - doubly so now that the internet has made it easier to get everything I need, and many things I don't but want anyway delivered to my front door. It annoys my mother and my children but they have legs so they can walk a mile to the shops without it killin' 'em.
