This is generally middle class forum so their idea of affordable would differ massively to mine.

to me bus fares are horrendous, £3 for a short hop . i wonder if the messiah has thought through his £2 fare cap given the escalating price of diesel

[Jaymoss]

Thing is the buses run whether full or empty . Yes it will use more diesel if people are on them but as with most things they do not see that. A full bus of passengers paying £2 will earn a hell of a lot more revenue than an empty buss charging over £3

It costs me £2.50 more to get a cab back from town which drops me outside my home. I'd wait for a bus if it was £3.50.

If you walked you'd need less 'fat' jabs

I used to walk everywhere at 7 stone. I guess I need to get back to that weight to walk more

I was 8st once, I didn't have the energy to walk anywhere. I'm 5ft10 but at 8st it was an issue that was taken seriously as it was not healthy at all. 7st?? hmm right.

It worked for me I never felt like a fighter but I was very light. 7stone 164cm/5'4

With you being a short arse Oompa-Loompa your correct weight is 7st10 to 10st5.

If that's all you can come up with then the point is lost on you.

I went to give the lawn a quick mow because it has 80% turned green again and It's still a mess(thanks squirrels!) and long so thought this would be the final cut before it gets too wet.

The battery on my mower was having second thoughts, I got 50% done before it ran out of charge, so now have to wait an hour or so until I get enough charge to finish.

this is why you adopt an eco system around a battery type. All my cordless power tools including mower and strimmer are worx and I got a stupid number of batteries now

Worx tools I own
2 drill drivers
Impact driver
SDS drill
jigsaw/reciprocating saw in one
circular hand saw
angle grinder
sander
oscillating tool
Workbench
glue gun
lawn mower
strimmer
jet wash
I think that is it haha

I normally charge after every use but last time I didn't. I probably should have kept the 2ah batteries they originally sent instead of insisting they send me the 4ah battery that was meant to be in the order.

Not to worry though Bosch sent me a Ferrari of a lawn mower as a warranty replacement based on the cost of the mower I originally boughtxso it was a huge win(assuming this one still works next spring).

Gardens done now, maybe one more cut needed if it doesn't get too wet later this month, it's got more bald patches than the back of my head though! So hoping the grass spreads.
