The thinking there is that public transport takes away a lot of the
journey needs. Plus amenities like schools, shops, doctors etc need
to be planned in (planning gain).

I live in a small town.

one bus per hour (on each route - different directions) last bus 6pm,
three buses in total on Sunday (per route)

Living without the use of a car is not "possible".

That's ********. It is possible, just not something that you'd like to
do.

Yep. I live in a similar place.

I could dispense with a car have all food and groceries delivered

if you can find someone who will deliver for below a £75 spend

OK dim...wit, is it possible or not? I don't give a toss whether the
delivery is free or not.

As I don't use them (for the reason stated elsewhere), I had genuinely got
the impression from casual observation that they wouldn't deliver at all if
you didn't make some minimum spend.

If it is, in fact, a spend for free delivery, I am quite happy to be
corrected, but not to be insulted
