Poor pig ....don't let Potsy see it

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

I have had a bacon sandwich for my lunch. That is all.

Sounds more than enough Phil... I had Saturday's home made soup... feeling slightly queasy!

 

[Night Train]

Bottom!

It broked!

Have to come up with an alternative.

Bottom!

It broked!

What's that NT, the piece of wood you were spindling?

Rocky, I hope your guess is better than mine...

*passes and loo roll, just in case*

 

[Night Train]

What's that NT, the piece of wood you were spindling?

You sound like you could do with a

Yes and yes.

Coffeejo!

I was wood turning!

 

[coffeejo]

See, NT, it could have been worse!!

One more , and then I really must get my bottom in gear. And put the bins and recycling out.

 

[coffeejo]

I've got as far as organising the recycling ...

 

[Night Train]

I have a new plan.

I also got a call from the garage about my car £400+ so far!

I've got to get an electric road vehicle sorted out for local use.

Is that re-counting the miles you bike has already done to save going out? Or is that Potsy's trick?

 

[Night Train]

Right, back to the workshop to have another go.

Ouch!

 

[Night Train]

My car use is reducing, mainly it is used for moving building materials about and for going to see Arch (cheaper then the train fare).

Ideally I would like a small (tiny) electric car that is legally allowed to tow a big trailer when I need the carrying capacity. That is difficult to realise legally within 'car' regulations I think.
Something like this would do.

My car has gone from doing 10,000 miles per year to about 1000 if it's lucky, have often thought of getting rid entirely but just need it enough to keep it for now, as long as it doesn't start costing too much in repairs and stuff.

Have you ever looked at the cost of hiring a car when you really need to drive, or just pay for taxis on those occasions? A friend added up the figures and worked out that he'd save money if he did either of those, so he scrapped his car.

Hebden Bridge has a community car scheme - link. I think there should be more of those.
