Public Transport - Versus not

Our friends live in the next town over.

10 miles away.

Thanks for the info.

Double Cheeseburger is still 99p though so I guess we're winning

Pedal faster.

What would that achieve?

Getting there in less time.

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.

I'm here to shoot the breeze and chew the cud.

Not sure I like the implication I'm a he though.

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.

Too many children. The globe can't cope with the population growth.

Don't need a dog. Too many people have got too many dogs.

Now - try again.

They weren't my children, I was collecting them along the way.

Cool stroy bro.....

Thanks. I've been working on it a while.

Great input by the way.

Adds to your mystique.

Can you be specific about which towns you are talking about, you are an Essex boy, aren't you?

No one in the South East thinks Essex is in the South East

That depends on where in Essex. Some of it most certainly is South East. Some of it is East. There's no hard and fast boundary but someone living in Basildon can rightly claim they live in the South East of England. Someone in Colchester would be in the East of England. Chelmsford could be both (depends if you're selling or buying! )

Technically, you could draw a boundary from (roughly) Sheffield to the Isle of Wight and another to Hull and everything to the bottom right would be South East England.

Kent and East Sussex.

Anything else, is something else

Some of West Sussex is further east than some of East Sussex so your definition is wrong.

My dog's called West Sussex. It's a Staffie, loves pavlova.

They still ask you where you are going though. If you tell them you're only going to the next stop but you don't get off there, could you get done for fare evasion?

Strange, I never say where I'm going nowadays - just ask for a £2 ticket.

They reduce to £1 after 6pm where I am on the south coast.

Romford?
