Thompson - the mrs failed 3 driving tests; I had 2 courses of driving lessons,
but each time ran out of money before completing and being entered for a test.

She would have been a dangerously nervous indecisive driver,
I would have been a bit too 'assertive' for other drivers on the road like her ...

oh well...

I have been a dedicated cyclist and walker [damned aging knees and feet...!!],
and we are both advocates for renationalising public transport...

It's only since moving out of London back to the west country
that we find ourselves disadvantaged by not owning a motor vehicle..

We couldn't afford it anyway, and parking outside our town centre house
would be a constant battle...
