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

It's all very scary Putin has finally lost his rubles and I don't think anyone can stop the Russian Bear now, not even that American kitten, Obama.:

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!!
