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.

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
