Never have, and I don't even have a driving license. Had some lessons when I lived in west London, but didn't like it at all.
I've lived in the South East for 28 years (London then Berkshire) and I find the public transport more than adequate, and I'm happy to walk several miles if required. It's not 100% a 'green' thing, it's more I really don't feel at ease in a car.
I'm probably going to retire back to Shropshire in the next few years where public transport is ...not good.
Small market town with local buses and all the shops and pubs are a reasonable walking distance, but the nearest mainline station is > 15 miles away and buses don't run on Sundays, and finish at 6pm other days. Luckily taxis/minicabs are reasonably priced compared with the south
I realise I'm in a tiny minority of non-driving, non-TV owning weirdos!
I managed perfectly well without a TV for some 8 years. I enjoy watching TV but don't have to and wouldn't miss not having TV. Were it not for Mrs Bnc i wouldn't have one now. As a gesture of goodwill, she pays the TV licence fee.
