Fair point, my logic deserted me :-$

i'm also a massive fan of streetcar, been using their cars and vans for years now, in fact i beleive my o/h is using a streetvan right now to take a load of stuff to the tip! you do need to a book a week in advance to get cars at the weekend so the addition of some extra cars is much needed and much appreciated. during the week you can ususally find a car/van nearby pretty much instantly. We use it mostly for "big shops" at sainos, b&q, trips to the tip and ikea.
Streetcar's USP over other renatal companies is the convenience in tems of collecting, or for those moving a few bits and pieces for an hour or so. Otherwise for day rental I'd suggest people look to local hire companies, far more cost effective.

I really recommend streetcar. With lots of children doing different activities all in different places with different kit, using streetcar has meant we didn't have to buy a second car which for financial and eco reasons I really didn't want to do. Yes you do have to be a bit organised, but it suits us. Using one tomorrow and another point to take into consideration in the financial case is not having to pay congestion charge if you are going into town.


PS the cars are all new (ish) and much nicer than our car!

    • Defo, where are you based so I can collect?
    • There is no other way than to move out. I am in such a situation myself where our neighbours are complete assholes. They breached the Covenants and when we pointed it they said to take them to court if we want.  Unfortunately, they have made our life miserable and we have to move out.    What helped in our situation is having a calm conversation face to face. It only happened after they tasted their own medicine(i know it's mean but nothing else helps).   I know it's unfair but better move out and prioritise your mental health. 
    • Thank you so much for the reply. Jeffery turned up a couple of hours ago. I edited title to say found but somehow it didn't save. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting this sighting... even if it didn't turn out to be Jeff.  Jeff came running down the street like a bat out of hell and ran into the house. Never been so relieved. Mind you i've been up and down the roads shouting his name out all day. Even in Wingfield street. 🤗
    • I saw a smallish black cat outside 1 Wingfield Street just now.  I am not convinced it was Jeff, the eyes look a little different.
