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!

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
