persuade me not to give up motoring in the UK

Motorcycle. Then you do all your commuting with a big wide grin on your face - except for those rare occasions when a !!!!!! of a motorist / taxi driver / trucker / van driver doesn't see you and cuts you up. Otherwise it's smiles all the way.

Ever considered a motorbike? Far cheaper to run, less traffic problems, and you dont need to sit next to the great unwashed. I really wish I could fit my ladders and tools on a bike my trip to work and between jobs would take half the time.

I did. but I worry how safe it is to park as I dont have my own garage........my friend got his stolen, and before that it was kicked over etc.......they seem alot more vulnerable......i would get one otherwise.

Or when I open my door on you because you're filtering at 70mph through stationary traffic :rotfl:

And why should I pay £96 for an open off peak return when the same journey by car costs £50 in petrol and I can go when where and how I want, including when I reach my destination, and go doorstep to doorstep. All for the initial outlay of the cost of the car, insurance, tax, mot etc.

So you can get sloshed on the train and have drunken, giggling conversations with ya boyz in the quiet carriage - it's what all the cool kids are doing these days...
