I confess that that is probably the thing that bugged me most about Australia when I was over there earlier in the year - the car culture. (In general I absolutely loved it & was very very sad to leave!)

Not that the UK doesn't have its own car culture, but our public transport system is much more comprehensive. Especially in London, of course. My major transport-related woe with Finlay is that I am pretty sure he's just too damn big for one of those bike-dogtrailer things. Bah.
