Yes. But you can't get get 75 litres home from the cash and carry that way, nor buy a book case, nor load up with cheap books from a Galloway and Porter warehouse clearance. You can't take your guitars and amps to practice rooms or gigs. Nor could you take one of the company's dud PCs back to World of Computers for repair. And so on.

If I lived in Cambridge, I'd need to use a car for journeys within the city at least a couple of times a week — or make lots of small shopping trips and pay for home delivery on everything large (and somehow be in when they called to deliver). Needing a car for a hundred journeys a year is easily enough to make owning one worthwhile.

And, while Cambridge is a lovely place, I wouldn't want to spend the entire of my life within its confines. So there's all the trips further afield to consider, as well.

So. Either [livejournal.com profile] ewx is strange, or I am. Or we both are, in different ways, which seems the most likely explanation. (-8
