There’s too much bad news out there and I don’t think we realise how good we actually have it here. So I thought I’d start this thread so we can talk about what we are thankful for in the UK rather than what we dislike.

    I don’t drive, but rarely feel restricted by this. I’m able to get anywhere important to me, just with walking, cycling, buses and trains. I live in London, I know it’s not the same everywhere, but I’m happy that I don’t have to drive.

      Town on the south coast and same here, though for me I just cycle, we don’t even have a train station and its often faster to cycle than take the bus.

      I have heard people ask how can I afford getting around without a car. Meanwhile their monthly car payments cost more than my bike.

      The vast majority of trips are under 5 miles and driven by car. Over £2 for diesel? Couldn’t give a fuck.
