cars on it but we pulled out past them).
Then we dropped to a crawl...

So Doug, do you avoid travelling *at all*. Do you sit at home all day,
not leaving the confines of your home. Or do you travel by bike,
train, bus etc.
Do you rely on other people travelling to supply your food,
electricity etc.

Dougworld, where no one is allowed to travel anywhere (except
Dougtard), and food magically moves itself from the fields to the
shops, and then onto peoples homes.
