Re: how much to give up your car?

No amount of money in the world would force me off the road. I need my car to get to and from the airport, at silly times of the day. Although as I am abroad at the moment it is parked at my parents house.

It's interesting to note, that our Government are not doing anything to bring the cost of Public Transport down either.
To give you an example. I am coming home next month for a week, I fly into Gatwick at 12.30pm, BA will fly me to Manchester for £50.
To get the train I have to get the express to Paddington, £15, get a tube to Euston, with cases, £5, get the Virgin train to Preston, £40. so the train will cost me £70 and take longer.
It is better for me to get the train as my Girl gets lost when driving to Manchester airport, so I rely on others to get me home.
Funny how BA can charge less than the train.
