I do wonder why some have cars if they don;t drive to work
and the car spends most of the time outside their own home.


Because if you live in the congestion zone and work there too,
it makes more sense to only use the car for the shopping etc
instead of trying to lug the grocerys around on public transport.


I can do that


Yep, you actually are that stupid...


yes I can walk to the end of a road and enter a shop
buy something and return without the aid of a car.


And pay much more for the stuff you stupidly buy
that way instead of a fortnightly shop at a decent
supermarket etc and waste a lot more time that
way too doing that most days.


my milk never lasts a fortnight, I also like the idea of suporting local business as they provide a service without my local shop, my kettle would have cost about £5 more but I got it from AO.com who delivered it there so I didn't have to take a day off work.



and do it most days of the week,


Yep, you actually are that stupid...


Yep I don't need to buy petrol/deisel
to walk a few hundred metres.


But are stupid enough to pay more and waste
much more time doing that most days.

How does it take more time to wall 100 metres than to get in a car drive to a supermarket , park queue then drive back and hope the parking space is still there, which is unlikely.
