Driving is the thing I miss the most. I would happily pay 3 or 4 times the price of
fuel now, just to be *able* to drive again :-( I use my wheelchair for short hops to
the local village, and generally use the bus (which isn't too bad in Telford) to go
to Town if I need to. With a bus pass it's only £1-20 return for me anyway. The REAL
problem arises here when it's pissing down and the trip is urgent - this
necessitates a £10 return taxi trip !

But as it happens, approaching a quid a litre is taking the piss, where are the
blockading wagons ??? IIRC it was about 85p a litre last time they got all fired up
and had a right royal go at the Deeside refineries wasn't it ??
