I think some people just find excuses for it. He even has a little luggage thing on wheels so he carries our milk home  I think I underappreciate my little brother, and I am certainly going to give him a big hug when I get home! Here I am pointing out that there aren't two people to supervise, I can't supervise when I am at university.
Obviously when we have no choice but to walk we find a way to do it, so obviously I am going to think it is lazy to not walk up that hill. We can't always afford a taxi either, but we can't just sit around feeling sorry for ourselves. Taxi's are more often than not an unnecessary method of travel. |
No ones sat here feeling sorry for ourselves. As far as I was aware this post started with costs of public transport being compared to private, and the fact the cost between them both was very little in some cases.
I firmly believe that if the Government is wanting to take cars off the road, and entice people to use public transport as an alternative, the cost is a major issue.
The only major hill I can think of in ossy is the hill that leads to the top roads. If thats the one, then fair play to your brother. Doesnt entitle you to knock other people, or their children. I have a car, my son goes in it all over the place. We arrive, he runs round like a mad man, eventually we get back in the car. Doesnt make me a bad mum, or him obese.
