Oh they are very wobbly 😆😆😆 Might get round to them this summer 🤔
I had a phone call from 'The Boss' saying quick get round here (a house a few doors away) as a neighbour had tripped and fallen on a really wonky flagstone - so get it fixed as someone could get hurt or more likely just sue you. I think DVLA charge £2.50 for ownership details to anyone who needs them - so obviously scummy parking companies, and also Grabbit and Run Solicitors (Personal Injury Specialists) et al.

Your idea is commendable but completely out of touch with the society we live in. Capitalism is all about money ruling and being king. Profit is the god of capitalists. Everything has to make a profit to grease the palms of capitalism. It cannot survive without selling goods and services at a profit. We all know that communism doesn't work so what is left? Socialism could only work if it wasn't associated with communism. I welcome your utopian idea but society is far from being ready for it, so what is the alternative? I can't answer that question as I don't know but I believe the capitalist system will collapse eventually when we have exhausted the earth's resources in the not too distant future.
The alternative is very simple. Do something, or bad things will happen. In the short term more recessions - indeed, because nothing has structurally changed with the nature of the economy we're still suffering the effects of the last one.

In the long term, the extinction of the species is a very real possibility.

These are so obvious, so widely reported upon in the news, I'm surprised you even had to ask the question.

Been looking for a family bus cheaper to run than our old C4 Picasso but struggling.
We had C.4 as a courtesy car and could not believe how thirsty they were compared to the VW Touran. All cars have faults but the Touran is still our favourite and does what it says on the tin. When it came to replacing our old one, there was no other choice

Our Touran goes in a month or two. It's been pretty good for loading the wife's powerchair in but I'm being given a Passat Estate as a replacement by my company. Bit pissed off tbh as it isn't as easy to use as the Touran.

Been looking at a nice second-hand Multipla on eBay that's fully adapted - ie the wife can drive her chair in the back and sit beside me up front.

I fancy a Ssangyong Rexton next, will tow anything I'm likely to ever own!.

Don't mind a few years on "tick" but PCP isn't for me..

Our Kuga was 2.8% apr, hopefully get near that again for the new one (few years away yet mind).

Not that bad for a car capable of towing 3.5 ton imho!.
