#1 World Car-Free Day
Posted: Fri Sep 22, 2023 8:56 am
Today, apparently, is World Car-Free Day, when, according to an email I've received from Transport for London and the Mayor of London*, each year people around the world celebrate by leaving their cars behind and enjoying freedom from motor traffic, whilst children dance and play in the streets (not quite sure how the little tyros are to do this on a day when they should be in school, but hey!)
I must admit I've already blown it by dropping off the family car first thing for its MOT - spending a lot of time in the process stuck in traffic with a lot of other people who obviously hadn't received the memo either - but I wonder what others here might be planning on doing to mark this momentous occasion?
