Oh, okay, cool. Thanks.

If say, I had, three kids, a pavlova, dog, and a selection of artisanal cheeses.

As an eager contributor to society, which method would you recommend?

I don't like the tone of your reply.

What are you implying?

No, but having no point is at least consistent with his other 12,469 posts.

For all journeys?

I've clocked in the ten miles and I'd be more than happy if that's the score.

Though the estimated time is 45 mins.

Which is not unreasonable.

And if you wait until you get old then they are free.

But I'm interested in the porridge costs. Is cooking with milk and sweetening with sugar/honey/syrup etc included in the price?

Just a pinch of salt and the sadness that starting the day with porridge brings.

100% smug, but negative self esteem.

Though daughter one has introduced blueberries and Canadian maple but it's not like she pays the bills.

Yes, all journeys (only a few minor 'odds' across England).

Not if you need to change busses though on a route?

How does it take a train 1.5 hours to travel 10 miles.

Are you going by Stevensons Rocket?

Op hasn’t included depreciation of his microwave either.

Rookie error.
