In An Emergency We Walk!

    Such is the slow pace of life in the Village, that those such as electricians, use a garden tractor such as this to get about the Village. Yet in an emergency - they walk! Well perhaps if the maids had walked carrying citizens breakfast trays in the opening scene of Dance of the Dead, then the breakfast would have arrived hot!
   Yet there is a variety of transportation in the Village, the Austin Mini-Moke used as the Village taxi. The Penny Farthing bicycle, which no-one in the Village is seen riding! The old faithful Tricycle. The canopied RWS 16 bicycle. The French Alouette helicopter. The Doughty Jet Drive boat, as seen in Free For All, used by No.6 in an attempt to escape the Village. And M.S.Polotska, real name Breda, original name DABII, which was actually one of the fleet of little boats to go across to help in the evacuation of Dunkirk in WWII.
   But remember, if you want to get anywhere in the Village in a hurry, then it's always qicker to walk. A taxi, oh no, I wouldn't use a taxi, local service only. Yes they'll take you anywhere you want to go just as long as you arrive back here in the end, that's why they're called local!
Be seeing you
