So you never travel by taxi, people calling at your house never use any kind
of motor vehicle (e.g. the postman delivering the goods you've bought over

don't get to work by car nor do the lorry drivers who deliver those goods
etc etc?

Then why do you insist on living in one of the places in the country with
the highest density of cars?

Yet again Doug show his support for the rich and privilged and wants to see
the poor "kept in their place".

Indeed Doug, the people doing it today are emulating you and your
