Laddy Muck, I almoat forgot about you, number 3 on my guest list.


And LadyDeliah, as a relative newbie to all this, I don't think we know each other. I think we should all start wearing name badges when out and about in ED. That would make for an interesting conversation or two....!

I should like to meet Ted Max. Preferably in Capri on a terrace somewhere. In whites and with a cold drink.


And *Bob*. Everyone would like to meet him (some have - see next CPC pub opening) but the old adage of never meeting your heroes holds more true than ever in this strange online world.


I have met a few of you and you are all as mad as a box of frogs.

HonaloochieB, *Bob*, katie1997, giggirl, Helena Handbasket and Huguenot. My lawyer says best not to mention T-- M--.


I have already met lots of lovely forumites, who have profoundly changed how I feel about living here. Too many to mention but special mention has to go to the Moving J's, Cam's mum and dad and the Invisible Gurkha Pirate.


Actually, I do see a chap around LL whom I like to speculate might be HonaloochieB. I shall never dare speak to him, though.

Ooooh, why do you think it's him? Describe him and he may even put in an appearance! I think we should add profile pics on here, it would make life in LL so much less complicated on a bustling Saturday i.e. Then I would know how to elbow out the way and who to curtsey... 'tis a minefield out there.

    • 🤣 Yes, I can't imagine they'd thank you for that. Sounds like keeping the car is probably the right thing for you.
    • That ULEZ check is not necessarily accurate, as someone pointed out above. I did it ages ago. I don't cycle. I got a bike, had a space in a bike shelter (in fact requested one on our road), had a disastrous lesson from someone who appeared to think I was about nine years old, fell off and gave up. A refugee now has my bike and someone else has my space in the shelter thing. Our tent is too big to easily take on public transport, let alone all the other stuff. If you travel light, good for you, but my backpacking days are long gone, as are my days of happily sleeping in a tent I can't stand up in! I didn't know about this zip car point to point option. Is that to anywhere in the UK? Thanks but I did all the sums when I decided to keep the car, and the convenience for me outweighed the obviously considerable annual  cost. I don't think an Uber driver would be very happy to convey things like bags of smelly compost to my allotment 🤣 Which I can take on the bus but it's somewhat embarrassing 🤣
    • If you think about the amount you spend on keeping and using a car and how infrequently you use it, you might be better just getting the occasional Uber. We often underestimate the cost of owning a car, as opposed to using a cab. There is actually a name for it in Psychology ('the taxi meter effect'). It's likely you're spending at least £1000 - £1,500 a year on keeping a car (£500 on insurance, £200 on MOT and service / repairs, £180 on VED, Then the ULEZ fee each time you use it, plus fuel, plus depreciation... maybe minimal in this case). If you put that in a separate 'pot' and used it to cover the occasional Uber, you may find your needs more than covered. 
    • Yes, En Root are excellent.
