From Paddy Harrod

Here in The Hague I have been cybershopping since 1996 and find it very
restful.

We are a three-person family and for the past nine years have functioned
easily without a car. Public transport and bikes do the job. Whenever we do need
a car we hire one. This is in any case cheaper and more hassle-free than being a
car owner.
