excuses when a consignement of groceries didn't arrive one Sunday. I had to take the seats out of the car and go and get it.
What it ultimately came down to is, If the guy don't turn up to drive the truck, no delivery. No pommes de terre, no pommes frites.
Reductio ad aburdum
My late Mother (who would have been 90 now) lived in Leeds and went on seaside holiday throughout her adult life to resorts on bothe coasts, and also visited London 203 Miles away to visit relatives during the blitz. She wroked as a tayloress on no more than the equivalent of today's minimum wage.
Your 90 year olds did have the opportunity to travel when they were in their teens and twenties and older just like my mum.
Mbutt private transport I dare say.
Goodto Your logic Steve is funnier, I asked the question in a populist way by mentioning lane 1 as the "slow" lane (as do 95% of...
It will be available to some extent from the top down. That's why Prescott's staked his claim on the M4 bus lane, and Jack Stravinski's tested his right to drive along the motorway at 90+
They are available already. Little green buzzy about things. IIRC imported from India. I saw on stalled on the ramp up to the M621 west out of Leeds.
One question I would raise is buttuming they can get the traction and battery etc sorted out. What about the heater? Or are we all going to end up driving around in these little buggies garbed like Maigret with a Gaberdine mac, a soft hat, and warming our hands on our pipe :-)
That's been done an' all. Small cars are stationed all round Leeds City Centre on stands reserved for them by the Council. Cars like small Citroens.
Said to cost half the price of running your own car. But that must be an average, which would benefit those for whom running car would be expensive because of say being a bad insurance risk. So like all these socialist schemes the good subsidises the indolent.
Then again you don't get to own your own vehicle and there's no guarantee there'll be one available when uou want it. £4.95hour (= £118.80day) BTW Looks to be more expensive than a low cost traditional hire car to me.
Doesn't appear to be a problem, maybe because the cars are parked on special ranks quite near the "Turkey Twizzler, I.E. 2 EN-Suite bedroom" apartment zones already well policed at night because the locality is already over provided 400% with alcoholic entertainment, and probably specially scrutinised by the local "Hobby Bobbies" during the day. Plus the cars are always left empty.
