In Keswick, Cumbria today, taking Mrs BL on an "all our yesterdays" outing. We walked along Derwent Water lakeside, from Manesty to Keswick, had lunch, then, got the launch across the lake to High Bridlehowe, to walk back to Manesty. The launch was £13.75 EACH, and that was a "concession" price. Daylight robbery.

They made about £2.81 out of you, put it that way it does not seem expensive.

I have just booked a ninety minute swim in an open air pool starting at 5.30pm, that is going to feel chilly when I get out of the water.

But shortly after that you will start to glow and feel all the better for the experience 👍

I joined MrsTkk for her 4 mile run this morning ( I couldn't keep up ). Then we jumped on the Brommies and headed into Poole to collect an order from the shops. I was going to ask @Mo1959 , if I now jump in the shower and do some stretches, does that qualify as a triathlon?

This is light hearted chat, I didn't have to buy the service, I chose to, for personal reasons... but... how can you possibly know that, unless you are privy to their management accounts

Supplyand demand, I doubt many of us would sell anything for less than we can get for it. I have a different view on business compared with many who have never owned one.

This is the standard excuse we are meant to accept. I don't and I still think it is pure greed.

Well, there is only one Eiffel Tower, not including the model in Blackpool, so they kinda have the market cornered on getting an eyeful.

I am, I was just trying to make you feel better about how much it costs. A half hour boat taxi I use often in Turkey is £2.50 we certainly are an expensive place to live and have fun.

I do, I seldom enjoy swimming or the gym for that matter, but I always enjoy the feeling I get afterwards.

They certainly do have, I have stood under it but a fear of heights stops me going up it, it lost £100,000,000 a year in 2019 and 2020 how the hell does it cost £2,000,000 a week to open let alone lose.

Can they get spare parts should any bits of you fail their tests?

Join the queue, I am waiting for a few of them, all I need is a full body transplant and I should be good to go.

I need a new hip and was sorely disappointed to discover they don't make one in depleted uranium.
