Says a lot of modern society if they'd fail to get to work or
school
because their car won't go.

But that's how things are nowadays.
Not having a car (for whatever reason) never stopped me getting to
work.

But you didn't live in a rural area with poor/no public transport and
the
nearest work 20 miles away.

Country houses would revert to peasants and townies would live in
towns.
I blame stamp duty.


No, townies would DIE in towns.




What do you suppose would keep the townies in towns?
Their inability to walk more than 200 yards
Their faith that some socialist government will 'see them right'


The townies would die in the countryside along with the country folk.
No, they would die facing the country folk, who have far higher per
capita ownership of shotguns.

And know a bunch of total wasters when they see them.
