Re: Husband doesn't want sex

The UK governments over the last few years have discouraged driving by increasing the costs of motoring to get us all on to public transport .

The cost of fuel, insurance etc is prohibitive of having more than one car for lots of people. Eldest son passed his test at 17 and bought a small Ford fiesta for around £2000 , his yearly insurance costs were almost 3 times that amount ! He gave up driving when he started work as his job is office based , and his office is a 20 minute walk away from home. As he lives near to the city centre he decided he didn't need a car to socialise either and he's saved a considerable amount of money by not owning one.

I think in the US , from what I've seen, driving is far more necessary . Certainly friends who've been on holiday there said it's difficult to get to even local-ish shops without your own transport. I know fuel costs are rising there too , I only hope they don't end up at the same price as here in the UK
