 Milton Keynes, The city of the car, but for how long?  With news from the US arriving on our shores queues like this are not an un-common sight at your local petrol station I'm sure. There is a huge rush for petrol while it's still "cheap". I've told many motorist friends of mine that this is NOT a short term thing, but I've been told to go take my conspiracy theories elsewhere. When will people learn that this is not a short run thing? We're into the 3rd week now and still people think/hope it's short term. Milton Keynes is a city based on the car, huge car parks, and a road system with about a million roundabouts, all to try and cut traffic in the city. I live just outside the main city, and when I look out my window I see the wonderful orange glow of street lamps, how long until even this stop working, so many things we take for granted are at risk. Even bottled water, this will stay forever right? But what about plastic, it's another bi-product of oil, isn't it? And yes there are some natural alternatives, but how long will it take to mass market them? And can we produce them without ANY input from oil? What things in this world and trully oil "free"? I'm just waiting until these sings spring up around the city, maybe they'll believe me then.  From a lonely bike rider in the city of the car, Michael
