    The cheapest one available - Citroen E-C3 Aircross. It's bigger than I wanted but it would have been £100 more a month to get something smaller !

    They presumably want to incentivse maximising the use of heavy metals and landfill, along with the dead battery mountain, to keep fossil fuel usage as the only really viable option.

    You don't think that Jim behind the wheel has scope for countless adventures? Granted I'm not having to share the roads with him so I don't have the side helping of terror you probably do.

    Oh don't worry, I'll still be doing a lot of rail. No way am I driving to London for work, or to Nottm for Forest games.

    There should be a word for the experience of being on a train that's currently expected to arrive 3 minutes before the time that will trigger a refund and hoping for that extra bit of delay.

    Using The Meaning of Liff as a guide, we’ll need to know the stops on the journey. Particularly the one you were hoping to be late for. Especially if that or any others sound faintly amusing in the context of your definition.
