Sidla Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I'm not exaggerating. My car must have cost me at least a quater of my wages in my 2 years out and I was being paid £10,000 a year. How people can afford to run a car on £3000 a year when you have to buy food and books, fund a social life and pay for accomodation (as many students have to), is beyond me. What's wrong with walking? I happily walk a few miles around Sheffield each day. It's really not that painful and it's good exercise. Also I don't believe the public transport system is awful. I don't use it much, but when I do it's perfectly adequate. There's trains to Leicester every hour and regular transport to Meadowhall. That's all I need and I have no gripes about it.

If it doesn't need to be taxed there is no incentive to get old heaps of junk off the road - they can be left in the way for free... Not if the tax disk is replaced by an MOT disk which contains a bar coded owner's address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
