Yes Kate, those were indeed the good old days and when my Grandfather drove around in his Hillman Hunter, still in pristine condition today, the car, not the Grandfather![]()

Several (many !!!) millions of Chinese are abandoning their trusty bicycles in favor of an automobile ...
: Never before seen smog chokes cities ; People dying , people advised to stay indoors if at all possible.
Tell them to return to the bicycle !! For their health !! : Human nature. 'Progress'.
In the more developed countries there is a resurgence of Eco-friendly outlook and national policy even :
Eat local , ride to work , dedicated bicycle routes and lanes , etc.
Rest of the globe will take decades (if not a century) to turn the same corner. By then likely be too late for significant change.
I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.

Yeah, The drive to Dublin from Limerick certainly costs a lot less these days and just looking forward to going it down below €1.29 which means I have more money available to pay my escort ladies in Limerick!!
