Just bought a massive, funky trailer to pull behind my bike (and a set of waterproofs) so I don't need to use my car, which I am still trying to sell.


My daughter and granddaughter love being pulled along in it and it's firming my arse up a treat!


For any long journeys I'll try to use my family railcard and book cheap tickets in advance on the train (it cost abot ?80 in total for 4 adults and 4 kids to travel to Cornwall and back by train this way this summer)or as a last resort if i really did need a car, I'll rent one.


Weaning myself off my car, has been a long process though, one which poverty has speeded along!

Driving around the Cornish countryside, the beachside drives and the hedge-lined lanes, is the best part about going to Cornwall.


Best done in something small and rear wheel drive that seems like it is going faster than it really is.


I take enough trains and like in my normal day-to-day life. When I get out of the Smoke I like to drive.


I?ll plant a tree or something.

Brendan, we did get about cos I took the old Volvo estate my dad gave me to bring all the camping gear in. I managed to cram 9 people, a baby and 2 dogs into it on our day trips. Not very legal, but it was either that or stay on the campsite and miss the beautiful Cornish sights.

    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ? 
    • Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.   
    • Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.
    • The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.
