Okay I know I am privileged.
My "commute" to work is approx 3 minutes walk, including locking my door behind me and unlocking the office door/ sorting out the alarm if I am the first in.

And my "commute" to my weekend and evening job is approx 10 minutes walk, and that takes into account the fact the pub clock is set 5 minutes fast (lord knows why, we don't exactly adhere to licensing hours!)

BUT I have turned down HM's offer to get onto his car insurance. Why? Because I am inherently lazy. Rather than the 1/2 mile walk to the (local) big supermarket and struggling back with bags over the overpass I'd drive. Rather than a 5 hour trip back from my parents thanks to engineering works I'd drive. Rather than waiting for HM to pick up my Great Aunt's ancient portable TV for my bedroom I'd have it this week - I'd drive.

I don't judge people who drive, but I would suggest they (you) think - could I do this on foot, no matter how much of a pain it would be?
