Hi
Met an old work chum as we were out. He was crying re the price of diesel. He drives a very old Discovery, not great on MPG, fact
(today at the local BP, a massive 18p difference between the two)
I had to slap him down for being really tedious and told him to buy a for Ka for a few hundred quid, get third party on it
and use it for the daily shop, work runs and still keep his old banger and save loads of money. Guess what, he actually thanked me
and said his brother said something like that but he did not listen to him so thanked me.
All this crying and belating, get on yer bike or public transport as people did in the days before almost every harry had a car and now many feel it's their right, lol
TBH, I was a tad apprehensive but as he carried on and on re the price of diesel he got very tedious and I felt needed a slap down. I was careful re-delivery of the slap down and it worked!!
So if you can't afford the price of fuel, walk, cycle it, but a cheap smaller car, use public transport and/or consider moving nearer to work/school/parents etc etc. You have a choice, don't bury your ed in a dark place as driving oten has a choice and you can always cut back. Re gas and electric at home, there is less choice as most will want hot foot, hot bath/shower and watch tv after a hard days work
Mr Khan is not my type of guy but he is doing right for those that use TFL. We don't on the whole other than having a night out in the city centre but I cann see he has done well for bus passengers
Thanks
