I am very impressed by the fire doors too! I hope you enjoy your stay at Nick’s. Looking forward to eating peas and anything else you grow at the allotment when you move back in. xx

Thank you for raising a very important point, I should probably have covered that. For public transport to become more popular for use by groups, some kind of group discount might help. Other factors such as hassle and luggage are probably less affected by group size.

Indeed, multiple people travelling by car should ideally aim to use as few cars as possible.

I’m beginning to think of more factors which may come into play: many people don’t have a bus stop near enough to their home for bus travel to be practical. Services may be ridiculously infrequent. Often it’s near-impossible to get to exactly where you want or need to be. I think, therefore, that my post should be taken as a comparison of the alternative transport options for the precise journey I was making, on my own. That it brings up these further issues is a thought-provoking consequence, however.

I think it’s a great idea for getting about on one’s own. However, if one is traveling with others the balance of costs rapidly changes. For instance, if I were to come into town with you, the bus would cost £6 while the car would still cost £5.40. Worse, if Chris comes along, the total bus cost is now £9 – eep.

However, please don’t read this as anti bus, more pro sharing transport where ever one can. I save 75% on my commuting costs by car-sharing with 3 others. Even for the non tree huggers out there, £60 a month is not to be sniffed at.

Thanks for the recommendation. We never got round to seeing Children of Men at the cinema, but it’s on our rental list (easyCinema- they’re great, I will post about them soon).

If you like Clive Owen, you might like Children of Men. (scifi, not a heist film) I really enjoyed it, although it’s better in the cinema than at home.

This was my first exposure to Jodi Picoult …. and it was an enjoyable enough that I have read several other of her novels since …

I really liked Inside Man too, and H loves the music so much that we have to listen to it all the time…..

Now then, I found it a little disappointing. The beginning sequence was great fun, but the story made even less sense than your typical Bond. Not as much of a better Bond as Batman Begins was a better Batman.
