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.

    • Trees are great - I plant and raise my own and petition the council to look at damaged specimens and plant more - but they need to be tended to when they’re in non-woodland spaces. I encourage all those who have a strong liking for trees to plant them, grow from seed etc. - much better for all than tapping on keypads. 
    • Would they keep until Christmas?
    • As a customer of DKH I have sympathy with the staff but this a matter for their trade union to address. The law states that temperatures in the workplace must be “reasonable”, and adds guidance that a reasonable minimum temperature is 16C for sitting down jobs like checkouts or 13C for physical work like packing and stacking.  The law also states that there must be easily readable thermometers installed in the workplace so that staff can check the temperature. When I still worked, these would be mercury thermometers red-lined at 16C, so staff knew when it was permissible to stop work if they were uncomfortable. However, I always worked in trade union represented jobs. I suspect (but certainly don’t know) that a lot of Sainsbury’s staff these days don’t bother to join the union, so are not protected (please put me right if you know otherwise).  In any workplace, you either take collective action to improve things or just accept the conditions imposed on you. If staff are in a union, they need to take a hand in making sure the union and its reps do their job in representing them.
    • £1,155 now raised. Would be great to get to £1,500 by 17th January when the Crowdfunder will close. His family and friends are hoping to do something for charity in his name...
