Last 2 days have left me in a huge brainfart having been working with a lad who talks constantly about Dad's Army or Airfix models, and no matter what you do to change the subject, he swings the conversation back.

Enthusiam for Dad's Army and Airfix models qualifies him for threads in the AS Open Forum, surely?

[LightBulbFun]

side note, does anyone have a rough postcode or something I can feed into google maps?

I figured you know I really should check just how far away this car is from me

and sticking my rough postcode in and then "norfolk" into google maps its saying its near enough 10 hours on public transport despite the fact its only 2 hours by car

that cant be right surely?

[spartacus]

I've got a trade policy LBF, if you win it I'll drop it off for you.

[loserone]

Yes, it absolutely can be right.

It's true, I had a similar experience collecting my Mercury Sable from near Durham.  Despite that I went and did it again for Le Limon Bleu!

[loserone]

I live 5 miles from Durham, and work 2 miles from Newcastle.  If I got public transport to work and back, I could be in the office for about three hours before having to come home.  Takes 35 minutes in the car on a Sunday

Suddenly im that little bit all the more glad I do have my own 3 wheels and hopefully in time when said 3 wheels are on the road, I wont be subjected to such bollocks to go places!  (although it would not do me any good for collection capers still LOL)

That looks like it’s sending you by Bus. Would be quicker on the train with the route via Colchester being quicker normally, but some weekends at the moment there are engineering works,

Not enthusiam, more extreme scary levels of knowledge including the dimensions of Frank Pike’s scarf as he’s having a replica made....

 

sorry for derail, I know who to pay now

[spartacus]

It's a collection, or rather, a drop off, this is AS, there's always a way!

[loserone]

@LightBulbFun you live in London, where the investment in public transport is.

Yeah a rather rude awakening as to why no one outside of London (willingly anyway!) uses public transport!

(reminds me I have a question for the trainshite thread I need to post there)

Yeah! well even if I dont win, I very much appreciate the thought  

[holbeck]

I did it inside 5 hours from Devon by train. Oh, and I walked across London as it was a nice day.

Someone who turns any conversation on to their favourite thing ... imagine that...

Liverpool Street to Norwich is between 90 and 110 minutes on the train depending how many stations it stops at en route.  Train from Norwich to Wroxham is about 20 minutes, then it's a 10 minute drive to mine.

Alternatively the Megabus from Stratford to Norwich is about 2 3/4 hours, then the bus from Norwich to mine is about an hour.

I reckon that 10 hours is because you put in that you'd leave now - in which case you'd probably only get as far as Colchester or something before the trains stop and you'd have to spend the night there.

[Craig the Princess]

Yes, if you change departure time to during the day it's far more reasonable*

Ah good point did not spot that...

*sounds of machinery being worked, hamers hammering and a cat meowing*

[spartacus]

Yeah man, day out!

[egg]

Draw is tonight, look out for the bonus ball!

Wuv has the V5 and has stopped water leaking with a bit of extra expense.

Good luck.

[dean36014]

Ah, Wroxham, where even the McDonalds is owned by Roy’s 

[Twisterboy]

Oh crap Defo excited now!

[Saabnut]

I really hope that in a couple of hours someone else will be really happy to have won this, which will make me really happy!

[Stinkwheel]

I really want to win it. I also don’t want to win it. What is that all about exactly?
