    I wont go into what has sparked off this moan but its about people who dont own cars, say, I dont need a car, say all the time how they are really good as they use public transport all the time and live in the town.
    And as soon as they are offered a lift, grab it.:biggrin:

      I don't think I know of anyone who doesn't own a car. In this road most houses have two or three, but this is only a village so you need a car because the public transport is rubbish.
      One house has 3 cars a van and two motorbikes. Only 2 adults live there :heehee:

          I agree, most people do have cars, but there are some who live in town centres and brag about not needing a car to get around, and all these car drivers clogging up the roads.

          I used to give one of those a lift to work every day for 6 yrs when he was made redundant and his new job was out of the town.

          But that was a few years ago, I'm really referring to some of the stupid comments you see on facebook.;)

                    It's amazing how many friends you gain when you have a van capable of moving lots of stuff or large items. They pop up whether they have a car or not!

                        So has it turned into an insect as in Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis?

                            If it's a smartphone then they certainly aren't easy to use if it's your first one.
