Will need to give serious thought to car ownership, as we're inside the M25, and the car is diesel Having been a driver all my life, it would be a major change, to abandon car ownership, yet avoiding car tax and insurance costs every month would be tempting, as long as hiring a car occasionally didn't become prohibitive.
Pah, I did 13 months on one tank a few years back. No fuel problems. I'm inside London's Zone 2 so don't have a great deal of call for a car, except for when I do.
It is a bit of a luxury, but I've just spent a week down in the south west. Hiring a car for that trip would have eaten up any saving from not owning a car.
