That is the problem with all you woke southerners who enjoy the
Continental climate you want us all to cycle to work ..... even us where

Capes are cheap enough?


you know that is no substitute for the car

For whom? Are you saying there isn't anyone in Scotland (even) who
doesn't have a car and who does everything by bike?

Even when we were doing all our own shopping, even the 'weekly shop'
would be done on foot and irrespective of the weather, because it's
the easiest way.
