Comrades!
What an entertaining thread Anthony Beal has sparked! I didn't know
there were so many pious cyclists and walkers on the list. All it
takes is a fuel crisis... I live a couple of miles from work so I
could easily walk to work, sometimes do, more often don't. Often
'bus' it, but I won't bike to work - too much like placing my life in
others' hands! Were it not for needless panic buying there'd be no
problem. As Orson Welles memorably said after his radio broadcast of
H.G.Wells' 'The War of the Worlds' depopulated most of New Jersey -
"stupidity never goes out of fashion". I'm sorry if that sounds
harsh...
