We was looking for that new fangled public transport thing that our esteemed leaders are trying to foist upon us poor pheasants in rural Flatshire. As you can see, with the aid of modern digital technology, and a time machine, we went back to the future in rural Hillyshire to see how it was done. Pre Beeching that is. We did have a major rail junction in our village. Now we have roads that are barely two way, and in places barely single track. No fault of the council though, bad weather, lack of funds and so much heavy traffic and I mean Heavy, in weight. Sugar beet and other crops that were once carried by rail, are now transported on roads designed for much lighter traffic. As for public transport. There isn't any.

PS, a full tank of fuel for the car (Simple and effective) yesterday was: £60 + !!! Still and all, does what it says on the tin, and with a full load of 5 plus luggage, 29mpg isn't bad for an old girl.
