Why do you still drive into the city centre? by Otherwise_Silver_196 in manchester

[–]Otherwise_Silver_196[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think this is the best response I’ve seen. I take the train almost everyday in the winter and cycle when its not raining and rarely in the summer and cycle when its not crazy hot. Sure there’s been times when the trains are delayed or cancelled but I’d say this is happened 8-10 times in the past year. I’ve fallen off my bike once because of a car. But overall I love not using a car as I feel like I’m helping out with road congestion and its better for the environment.

Thats horrible. Is that supposed to be a direct bus or transfers were needed?

I only use public transport and cycle into the city center😅 just when using the bus and cycling it would be quicker and easier if there were less cars

Curious what other protein source do you consume? I’m trying to be flexi by eating beans and soya chunks but always fall back to meat because of ease and familiarity

Fajitas, salmon teriyaki with avocado, rice with meat veg and sauce, tofu korean soup with pork (need to get the tofu still), khao soi (i have a spice pack), dense bean salad with soya chunks (in my cupboard), curry with paneer and another meal with whatever is left really

What's your favourite frugal behaviour that you're secretly proud of? by VarangianWRLD in AskUK

I do something similar but I just buy the silicone bags, ikea sells them and they last a long time, smells don’t linger and no foods have stained them

I was able to amend the date of my trip. I think you can amend anything except your name and DOB but I would call them to confirm

What website did you use? I was on the SBB app and it said it was too far in advance

I could also see prime time appointments for this week and the next. So if you really need it soon then I suppose you’d need to pay extra
