Well indeed.
My point was about stockpiling for emergencies etc. As long as the car is running OK and I've got the money to put diesel in then it's not a problem.
Have only had to use the bus a handful of times in three years, just when the car was in the garage overnight. It was in the garage all day for some MoT stuff last week, so rather than walk around St Andrews for seven or eight hours, hanging around in shops etc I took the bus, because it was a very wet, cold and windy day. Car was in the garage several times last year at about this time, and got a bit cold, wet and miserable mooching around St Andrews all day.
But with the bus service suspended that isn't an option now. Walking six miles home isn't a problem either (I walk around five miles a day anyway just to keep my weight under control etc.) but if I had to do it both ways with bags of groceries from Morrison's then I'm not sure I'd cope
