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.

Even Scotland has its share of nutcases.

The irony of course is that 'we' often take the **** out of the
Americans for being lazy / car bound because they wouldn't think of
walking / cycling *anywhere*, let alone to the shops.

Yet if you live in big city they are often the best way to do it, as
car ownership isn't practical and if you do have one it often takes
longer to drive to the shops and find a parking space than to walk
there (and park when you get back).

If there were more 'nutcases', we would have more space on the roads
and fewer people dying from air pollution.

If you 'choose' to live miles away from anywhere because you prefer
it, you are likely to produce more pollution when doing those things
others can do on foot because you have to use the car for everything.

When we stayed in Castle Douglas it was a 50 mile round trip into
Dumfries to get a new headlamp for the Rover. Here it would be a ~1
mile walk / cycle.

Yes but in Glasgow or Newcastle they would do it wearing plimsoles
and a T shirt, even mid-winter

Spandex and a cape ?

This is what someone else is driving through right
now, and they aren't complaining. I like their glove
protectors. But poor *******, look at his shoes.

It's been pretty wet in Sussex for the last couple of months.
The ground is saturated and the flood plains next to the
A29 are getting flooded.
