I do not understand how "won't be living in London next year" equates with "will be driving a car instead of using public transport". Perhaps you could explain how you forged the link? tnnc |

I do not understand how "won't be living in London next year" equates with "will be driving a car instead of using public transport". Perhaps you could explain how you forged the link? I have made no such link. The link is between the two sentences, one of which followed the other in the conventional way, which I'll paste from above. "It would only be a weirdo who would let pride stand in front of survival." Followed by "That'll be the people who get killed in cars instead of using public transport." My implication, if you didn't spot it, was that some people take pride in driving their death machines around, often badly and often in busy cities, but wouldn't be seen dead (ha) in a bus or train, and are therefore weirdos according to the previous assertion. |

Fewer of them would have died as a result of bombs dropping on them... tnnc. |

Children were evacuated on a state scheme. Adults weren't. Some who could afford to moved to a safer location. Canada was a favourite for the nobs. |
