Just married we had one, with two doors, then when kids arrived one with four doors, then two with four doors, then when we retired one two doors and now with grandkids one with four doors.

Such is the progression in life.

 

echo.

 

PS. There are too many cars but particularly large lorries on the roads of our small island.

Use the railways and canals more to transport bulky goods like they used to do in the past.

 

My bold:  That would be a sensible move.  Progress isn't always an improvement.  

 

we should also cut down on our  "toys" as they are now referred to but not much chance when some blokes are now collecting space rockets.

How many blokes are collecting space rockets  ?

The reason there are too many cars is because there are too many people. As the population continues to increase due to immigration, so will car ownership.

Is the correct answer.

We either live in a Free Country or we don’t, my wife and I can now, for the first time ever, manage with one car, however that’s our choice and not that of Big Brother. We also live in a largish 3 bed detached house, perhaps this should be deemed as being too big for us.

I'd disagree with that - if someone dies wanting more things, they will have died feeling unfulfilled. For example, an egotistical DJ who owns the personalised number plate DJ 2 will always think the owner of plate DJ 1 has won, regardless of how many more toys he may have.

Yep, that's me.

I feel so 'unfilled'  

Totally enjoyed every second .

(even the breakdowns are character building ) 

You've never lived till you've changed carbs in the middle of nowhere with no street lights and only a torch for illumination 😀.

Normal people wouldn't do it

I can assure you that breaking down on Clapham Common one morning during rush hour causing that much chaos it made the traffic news... Was anything but character building!!

Of course it was Al, or you wouldn't have mentioned it 😀

 

Not as bad as breaking down in a recovery wagon at traffic lights, next to a police station  

Even the Police bobby's though it was funny.
