Last week I mentioned convenience, (which I suppose is self-evident) when discussing the pros and cons relating to running a car. After a month of using public transport and the occasional taxi I am convinced there are no cons. Would like to hear from anyone who disagrees providing they are not a car owner.
And what about independence ? I As far as we are concerned this will be most noticeable when deciding on a holiday. Apart from the odd few coach trips abroad we have always enjoyed free and easy motoring holidays. Self-catering cottages or B&Bs which give ample scope for getting out the cooking utensils by the lochside or river bank has long been our favourite way of catering.
OK -- yes it has rained so we find a restaurant. Over the years, and particularly in the West Highlands of Scotland we have found numerous pleasant spots to which we have nostalgically returned time and time again. I wonder if a coach driver would take kindly to a request to drop us off at one of these places and pick us up later ?
Now, while I must say I have been happy to comment on this new era I am sure that no one is going to be interested in a repetitive weekly recital of trivia, so until something worth commenting on in the future crops up, I will, as I have told John, say cheerio for the time being.
