Yes,
I am a very bad person. I had a blue MK 1 Ford Fiesta with beige seats ( 1.1L). The seats would not recline fully. That was tested. The radio was standard on the 1.1L.
I did kiss the Blarney Stone once. I cannot say I was sober as I was with a group that day that had come up from Crosshaven. That was again the late 70's.
Now, I love my Vespa. It is a 125cc and I take perverse pleasure from shooting through traffic. I wonder why anyone would want to sit at La Haule or anywhere for 20/25 minutes, when you can be a Vespa dare-devil.
I rarely take a car to town. I don't do traffic.
I broke my leg recently. I can say though, that 2 wheels are still so much faster than four. I love my old push bike . Only 21 gears ! Steel with two panniers. A 1996 special from Boudins. Now has 4,000 plus miles clocked,
Developing on from this>>>
I would like to see a bigger re-use of a town centre site for bike racks, more motorcycle parking, lockers, showers, suit and dress storage. Get people out of cars. Maybe a breakfast room from 0600 to 0900. That would be fun.
Where is there a badly accessed ( that can be improved) 22 acre site in the middle of St. Helier that is underused.
Fort Regent.
I would fund and have speed lifts at the Snow Hill end that would take people and bikes. I would have a vast locker room (bike racks outside), linked to the Fitness area, space and the big breakfast room.
I think this is an option.
I have always thought that this 22 acre site in the middle of St. Helier is a vast under utilised resource.
The key is access. When you define pedestrian and 2 wheel access, then it gets easier.
