That ULEZ check is not necessarily accurate, as someone pointed out above. I did it ages ago. I don't cycle. I got a bike, had a space in a bike shelter (in fact requested one on our road), had a disastrous lesson from someone who appeared to think I was about nine years old, fell off and gave up. A refugee now has my bike and someone else has my space in the shelter thing. Our tent is too big to easily take on public transport, let alone all the other stuff. If you travel light, good for you, but my backpacking days are long gone! -

If you think about the amount you spend on keeping and using a car and how infrequently you use it, you might be better just getting the occasional Uber. We often underestimate the cost of owning a car, as opposed to using a cab. There is actually a name for it in Psychology ('the taxi meter effect'). It's likely you're spending at least £1000 - £1,500 a year on keeping a car (£500 on insurance, £200 on MOT and service / repairs, £180 on VED, Then the ULEZ fee each time you use it, plus fuel, plus depreciation... maybe minimal in this case). If you put that in a separate 'pot' and used it to cover the occasional Uber, you may find your needs more than covered. -

It's the whole road. It's running with water! PM me if you want to be added to the road What'sApp group, where there is more information (though you wouldn't see posts made before you joined). A number of people have reported it to Thames Water, who should be there now (I haven't looked). It's supposed to be being repaired today.
