I was too but I can't remember it
My sole powered means of transport and fun from 1968 until I had a car in '74 was a motorcycle and I can't every remember needing coupons or there being any queues for fuel.Even in the early 70s we had petrol coupons - though never needed - but there was petrol rationing and long long queues.
My cars in those days would hold six or seven gallons only. Later years, we had a car that had a tank to hold a massive ten gallons
Some are,granted,but that was always the case,it's just that fewer people could afford a big car back then,though in the street of a hundred terraced houses where I lived there were a '59 Ford Consul and a '61 Vauxhall Cresta,I had Mk1 Cortina estate and Platt Bridge a coal mining village wasn't exactly Kensington..Cars are too big, too powerful, hold too much fuel ........................ and too ubiquitous.
Not if you're a healthcare professional,Doctor,self employed plumber,joiner,builder,electrician,etc,etc it isn't.As far as I'm concerned, the situation is a good one
Think about this Mick if you were working now how would you go one in the present situation and lets say you weren't used to cycling but had 20mile round trip to work?Yes, look after the emergency services and the health workers, but Joe Public should get on the bus or the train or cycle to work
Buses,and trains* both need fuel,that's if there are any bus routes or train stations nearby
Problem is,common sense isn't as common as people think,after all Boris Johnson got into power with huge majority and look how it all turned out,not much common sense there was there?If they can't, they should revolt and sack all the politicians and get some common sense running the country.
It's as I posted before MickF world isn't real world!
*OK some trains are electric but they're in the minority in the backward country that is the UK.
