One can imagine the state of four adults who’ve just spent (say) ten hours or more in a Ford Focus 1.6, complete with their bags & suitcases ( would they actually all fit in ? ), on a journey that involved driving 500 miles, i.e. the equivalent of from Brighton on the south coast to Dundee in Scotland !!!
And so just what price is put on stress and an early death ?
Say what ! Why not let's all use donkeys to get about on ? After all they're cheap, recyclable, and environmentally friendly ( aside from the noise and the flatulence ) – wherein we can all go back to living as peasants and indulge ourselves in a slower pace of life.
Look, in reality all I'm doing is pointing out the 'lies, damned lies, and statistics' that seemingly give the green light to certain people to broadcast reports about stuff that, in reallity, is not properly thought through and or is plainly incorrect - be that either by journo's or the 'do gooders' who wrote the report in the first place ( and just what lobby group do they represent, and / or what is their 'angle' ? ).
