Anyone here dislike SUVs? My town is chock full of them but then again I do live in a posh town. The room they take up parking (I live on a street of terraces with on street parking,) and there are lots of narrow streets. I grew up in a family of five and we travelled all over Europe in an Austin 1100!
It’s not sour grapes and quite a few cities are now charging SUV drivers more to park. It feels like a step backwards when we’re all so concerned about the environment.

True Bluebell we have a bus pass but unfortunately not much in the way of buses for instance my DH had a hospital appointment last week to go by bus would have been walk for a mile or so catch the early bus where there is a good chance you wouldn't get a seat then an hours bus ride. By car 15mins
The buses only run hourly. I could walk to the bus stop but my DH would really struggle.
Where we live being without a car would be very limiting.

Perhaps David parks his car in his sitting room and has a sofa in his garage so that he can guard his wellies night and day. Those pesky spiders, wasps and mice can cause havoc with ones toes.

😂😂😂

I am still puzzled by David's post to me.

We used to have a lot of cars parked in our sitting room.
However, the DGC have grown out of toy cars now.

Sorry Allira it wasnt meant to be a reply at all.
No my car doesn’t live in the sitting room, it gets left out in the cold.

🤣

And mine.
It gets washed by the rain (good excuse)

Anyway, there's no room in the garage, it's so full of wellies and other junk.
