UK ebikes are only allowed on cycle paths / lanes and roads. Doesn't entirely fix the problem because in many places you'd need a deathwish to dare to cycle on the road not the pavement and there are no where near enough cycle routes.

Yep was talking with one of ours - gets 200 big parcels (not letters) to shift. Never possible to deliver them all in the shift, sometimes doesn't even get to the post office on the round before it shuts so all the "parcelpoint" items get sent back to the depot.

Sooner it collapses and has to be nationalised the better.

Hello Weave.  Where has the time gone?  I'm waiting for someone to help, and we're near the top of their list. So hopefully soon.  Sorry all!

I had a similar experience a few years ago when I advertised a garden table and four chairs on Freecycle. A lady said she would have it, but when she turned up she was in a largish SUV with 2 children in child seats in the back and a boot full of stuff! She stood and scratched her head for a while, gave up and drove off. I think she was waiting for me to offer to deliver it. How we laughed... The woman who eventually took it turned up in a large van, with a practical, no-nonsense attitude about her!

Cheers,

Chris

Not really happy, more funny.
I was in Screwfix waiting to collect a few bits as was the lady in front of me. The member of staff brought out the 110mm x 3m soil pipe to which she said "I didn't think it would be that long, I've only got a small car". Just how long did she think a 3m pipe would be?

Link

£32.50 for a single, £89.50 for the triple pack.

I saw that, hopefully people will take advantage of the offers. Personally it is one wagon that for some reason I'm just not interested in regardless of price.
