    Buying some petrol.


    That would be $116.60 here at the moment, our regular (95 RON).
    It now takes a 100 bucks to fill up my F250. Now I fully grasp what Ridin with Biden meant 👍

    dont even want to know how much it costs in my f550 v10 hauling an egg and some lump down the road. it does not go far between fillups

    Do you guys pay more since you drive so little with shorter distances? I remember being over in England and one of our friends who lives there said, "I hardly see my sister. She lives 20 miles away." I couldn't tell if she was serious or not at first. The one other time our British friends flew to the Twin Cities and were floored that we would come and pick them up at their hotel. (A 30 minute drive from our house) They pleaded that they could take a Taxi so we didn't have to drive that far. Which was hilarious.

    Went to a local saddlery yesterday and bought a new pair of Canadian-made, leather soled boots to replace my exact same, worn out ones. 

    The store, which specializes in equestrian gear, featured signs warning against consumption of Ivermectin for the purposes of warding off COVID. First time I’d seen such signs live.

    Fuel duty (fixed amount per litre) added to the cost of the fuel and then 20% VAT added onto the total (yes, 20% sales tax on the fuel duty).

    Our feed store has them up.  Luckily, I use a different dewormer for my horses and dogs, so I have not had supply issues, but those who use dewormers with Ivermectin have been having lots of supply problems around my area.

    The site looks completely shady, but is legit.  I talked to the owner and he was super nice and helpful.

    20 miles is a fair poke and could take an hour depending on where in the UK it is.    That distance certainly feels far enough away to be not just around the corner.  Depends what is on the other end of the journey, though doesn't it. 

    It's 70 miles to the in-law's & takes 2 hours, nearly all motorway. That's a long journey by average standards.  

    Brits traditionally commute up to 30 minutes whether by foot, car or bike.   That is distorted by London where most use public transport and 90 minutes by train(s) is more common.

    The UK is a small, awkwardly shaped and difficult to navigate place. Straight roads, urban and rural are rare - apart from where @Eoin lives,  which is essentially the English prairies. 

    Public transport is at best patchy and of course the fuel levy is an absolute cash cow for the Treasury.

    Wow, slow going.  My folks live just over 100 miles away, and it takes 75minutes.  Only about 7 turns total.

    Nope, I slow down to 60 for most turns.  I make up for the slowdown on the 95 miles of highway.  Speed limit is 75mph, but granny will pass you if you are going less than 85.

    The ~5miles of surface streets range from 55mph - 45mph.  The real killer is once I get into my parents neighborhood.  That is 25mph.

    There are also 3 stop lights which add some variability.

    They only stop cars because they are lonely and want a chat with someone.   Well, that was certainly the case in the 90's.  
    Now they are too busy filling in risk assessments, doing online learning about the latest unenforceable piece of legislation and compiling stats for the Home Office.

    I'm never bothered dealing with traffic police, they're usually looking for idiots and drunks, not people going a bit over NSL. Cameras are just enforcement by numbers, I hate the idea of road safety being down to a number on the speedo.

    A new leather sofa for our movie room.



     Made the expensive mistake last year of ordering a fabric couch online from a company called Article. Probably should have returned it after a couple weeks but it would have been a huge hassle and my hope was that it would wear in a bit and mellow out. Fast forward to a year later. The quality of the Article sofa is terrible. The supposed stain resistant fabric was a joke and the seats are made with cheap low density foam. 

    So today I bit the bullet and decided to do what I should have done a year ago and bought a leather sofa. Fingers crossed it holds up like our 2 Bernhardt leather sofas in our living room

    I once read somewhere, that Americans can't quite comprehend 100yrs of history, and the UK'ers can't wrap their brains around travelling 100 miles for anything (paraphrased... poorly). 

    My daily commute is 22 miles (one way), and takes 25 mins. Most Americans can't recall what happened 5yrs ago, especially re: politics/politicians.
