I've had people repeatedly tell me to get myself a UK license so I have more chances to get a job. I'd like to, but not for that reason. I don't mind public transport or walking to work. On a bus (or when I lived in London, a Tube, or when I lived in Chicago, the El) I can read a book and mostly relax.

Too many people drive and don't carpool, even here in the UK and traffic slows to a crawl and can be a nightmare.

J has been riding his bicycle to work (not today since we have 60mph+ winds) almost every day and not only is he fitter but he is saving a minimum of £50 a month on fuel.
