Now you're talking. In my version I'd like it to do other journeys too - having a boyfriend that lives in the Midlands when you live in SE London is a pain - generally takes at least an hour and quarter to get to the start of the M40 from here and still got an hour on a good day to his place from there. And for day trips to the seaside in the summer, hiking trips all year round, visits to my friends outside of London from before I moved here.


Although I'd have to conceal it's existence from my parents in case they expected me to visit more often...


It's not that I hate driving, but it really feels like dead time

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
