The walk will do you good :O)

The round trip is 5.8km. In March, before I broke my right fibula above
Glen Coe (another interesting story involving the Mountain Rescue Team)
I averaged about sixty-five minutes. The plaster was removed on 1st May.
Sunday week ago it took about one hundred and five minutes. Last Sunday
it took eighty minutes so, yes, you're right.

It's your choice to live in the niddle of nowhere.
Sell up to a yuppie and move to a high rise flat in the city, all that
hill walking will stand you in good stead when the lift is vandalised.

LOL.

I've always fancied a quad bike.

I think the economics of fuel pricing are what will influence people into
choosing their behaviour. Having fuel at £10 a gallon is a lot more
practical than doing it using a Police state or more brutal means.

House prices will also reflect the cost of transport to them (both goods
and people). A smaller number of richer people may well pay a premium for
scenery, exclusivity, remoteness but typically houses away from local
employment and transport links tend to command lower prices.

Typical inverted leftie logic. The freedom to travel is a right that has
come slowly to most of humanity. Only a few generations ago working class
people rarely travelled beyone their village. Now they have the freedom to
travel where they like. The anti-freedon greenies would like to take that
away.

Things were better when the working class were confined to their
villages.

Please add your name(s) and then send the link onto as many people as
you can.

Kind Regards.

And what the hell do you think that will achieve?

Thousands more have died in the UK mining coal than have been killed by all
the nuclear accidents in the world.

Running out of oil will terminate 90% of human life.

It won't happen overnight and humans are very adaptable. We are also very
ingenious. And necessity is the mother of invention.

We have one bus where I live and that is on a Wednesday, where as the
greenies who mostly
come from London have buses and trains every 5 minutes.

Our nearest bus stop is a thirty-five minute walk away as is our nearest
shop, a Spar. The return walk includes a two hundred and seventy foot
climb up a one-in-five hill. I'm seventy-one next month...

The greenies would have you relocated into a state-run grandadfarm. They are
control freaks and they like to have everyone regimented like that.

Ah - but is he willing to pay for it?

At least it is free in Scotland ;-)
