1. The first time I came across the phrase "sky fairy" I thought it amusing, the one thousand and sixty third time I thought, "This person has stopped thinking for themselves."

2. We should be thanking the striking rail unions for pointing up the absurdity and wastefulness of a system that requires millions of people to spend millions of hours travelling to and from work every day.

A nice theory, but what would they all do instead? And if they are to travel, better for everyone if they did it by train rather than by car.

Work from home, live above the shop, live within walking distance of the work place...

We've created a society in which all the work places are concentrated in urban centres where nobody lives any more. It doesn't have to be this way.

My father used to run an international engineering business from a village in Kent. It can be done.
