Bnaughty: Buses are more difficult to park so I use a car


I see lots of people, across the world saying that they would rather take the bus, especially in e.g. London.

DoubleFantasy: Its not that bad. Even in central london (due to there being a congestion charge). Just avoid the rush hour.


I will not survive it.
I hate traffic and stay off the highways if possible and not take even longer.

DoubleFantasy: Europe is a big place. London is a big city.
I have always owned a car - I hate buses, its too slow.
If you know your way around, its not a problem to drive or park.


He works for a company in London, who has their major clients in Europe, or so the kids tell me.

DoubleFantasy: Driving as part of your work can become tiresome. I would say i use my car less often, due to the availability of online shopping. If going out fa,r I use (more often) the tube or the DLR or (less often) go by rail.


Online shopping for groceries,IT stuff etc else like clothes I have to see first.

DoubleFantasy: You cant send the clothes back ? - due to "not being fit for the purpose". I think it comes under statutory consumer rights and the "distant selling regulations"


I hate shopping
