Yes indeed. When I was a lad (1950's) my local suburban commuter
station (Ewell West) had a couple of dozen car parking spaces, but it
was seldom more than half full. Most of those commuters who were
lucky enough to have a car left it at home with the wife.

And the wife drove in those days?

No. She stayed at home with the car and did woman's work.

So why didn't he park the car at the station ?

Because he preferred to walk to the station,

Unlikely.

or there were no ****ing parking spaces.

We know that wasn't true.

And my mum drove the car in the 50s.

There is quite a lot that goes straight over the top with you.

You never could bull**** your way out of a wet paper bag.

Even Liz drove a truck in the 40s and could fix basic problems too.

Victoria didn't drive

Hardly surprising given that she was in her dotage by the time they were
invented.

and she should have fixed some basic problems when it was not politically
incorrect to do so.

She preferred to have it off with the ghillie once the kraut was dead.
