No, but having no point is at least consistent with his other 12,469 posts.

And if you wait until you get old then they are free.

But I'm interested in the porridge costs. Is cooking with milk and sweetening with sugar/honey/syrup etc included in the price?

For all journeys?

I've clocked in the ten miles and I'd be more than happy if that's the score.

Though the estimated time is 45 mins.

Which is not unreasonable.

Yes, all journeys (only a few minor 'odds' across England).

Not if you need to change busses though on a route?

How does it take a train 1.5 hours to travel 10 miles.

Are you going by Stevensons Rocket?

Op hasn’t included depreciation of his microwave either.

Rookie error.

Oh, okay, cool. Thanks.

If say, I had, three kids, a pavlova, dog, and a selection of artisanal cheeses.

As an eager contributor to society, which method would you recommend?

If you’re having to transport all of these then surely the car is the economic method. tho your offspring might travel free on the train or bus (I don’t know about these things) you and the Mrs will have to pay. Controlling three kids and a dog on public transport would be a handful, with a mind that one hand is already balancing a pavlova and the cheeses might prove to be antisocial on crowded public transport.

Other option of course is to forget your distant friends and make new ones within short stroll of your home.

Find some friends in your own town ?

Public transport require planning, (I’m reasonably remote also)

Curious to how you know it’s 50min yet unknown price?

Where I am searching an app at different times of the day gives different routes, as services don’t run, meaning I might have 2 sides of a triangle to do instead of one when direct services are not operating. Do you know if there is a direct service between the two towns (might mean leaving a party early though my mate does that to get last bus home)

Why no option for helicopter?
