"Someone". I see.I've seen plenty of that.
It gets everywhere. I even remember taking three friends (so a full car) into Edinburgh for a music workshop, from a village that has at best one bus an hour, which takes ages because it zig-zags across the landscape to pick up and drop passengers at a number of villages and towns. Someone said, of course we really should be taking public transport.
An off the cuff remark about pollution is not really the same thing as making an argument in even an Internet forum.
She was that brainwashed.
Brainwashed? Use the pejorative language why don't you.
Why? I asked. Er, pollution, she said. I pointed out that she was sitting in an electric car.
Even electric cars pollute. Their manufacture causes pollution. their eventual scrapping causes pollution. The production of electricity causes pollution. The wear on their tyres is pollution.
I've repeated to you several times now words to the effect that there are scenarios where using a car is better. You have chosen to ignore my words and persist with this stupid argument. You've cherry picked one particular journey and ignored the real problem of millions of people descending on cities on their own in their cars every day.Er, um. You might say congestion, but we had four people in a not-very-big car. But still some be-kind handmaiden thought we should have spent several hours on a bus, after walking a mile in the rain to get the thing. And a couple of hours hanging around because the timetable of course never fits in with the timings of events.
