90 miles a day?! How do you manage that? I was a regional manager for a company a few years ago and I managed to clock up 20,000 in 4 months. i was working out an average of about 220 miles a day at one point BUT that isn't stop-start city driving, is it? Thats whats really killing my car. I've been working 3 1/2 months and stacked up 8,000 miles, and apart from the odd trip back to Cornwall or to Blackpool away (Never Again) it hasn't done more than 30 miles at a time.

So between pub trips you might visit the pub then.

Pub Neil. Then Pub again. Inbetween Sunday sleep, chill, eat, chill more... Neko's probably playing with his smashing machine... sometimes Engineering can sound quite cool... ;D Is THAT 9-5? I'll get into that!

That is not good, get yourself one of the little mopeds instead.

I get £1 per drop for petrol and maintanence. By my guess, £1 covers me for a ten mile round trip. Parts of Chaddlewood and Plympton are at least twelve miles each way. Luckily, though, there are a couple of nice people who order for delivery from comfortable walking distance. So I walk, and get the £1 for free ;D

Morning Neko! Long time no speak! Indeed! And a good morning to you too! Yeah, I have Jules - only myself to blame for the tiredness and the overtime I'm gonna have to do to make up for the lateness. The landlord didn't help though - he'd gotten some new stuff in, had evidently tried a bit himself, and offered a double shot to me and my cousin for free, since we've been going there for years. Jamaican vodka (not bad, had a plasticy smell and aftertaste though ) and Jamaican rum - 57.5%, apparently! That stuff was good, but God did it ever bite back!

Most orders come from Mannamead and St. Judes or Lipson, which are all pretty close (road works permitting). covers petrol, not maintanence. I had the piston rings replaced recently, cost me nearly a month's wages...
