on BBC BREAKFAST ( yes guilty i watch it ) - declan curry was interviewing some posh lady about how to save money owing to the credit crunch -you know one of those that actually BELEIVES that the average national wage is 32,000 a year or whatever and she suggested the following :
turn off lights and computers when not in use
take less ( note LESS ) holidays
cut down on meals in restaurants - especially the lobster thermadore
drive less ( but of course she did not mention taking or having the nanny take ), the brats to school just up the road in the chelsea tractor that has never been off road other than M&S car park ( was going to say tesco's - but too posh to shop there )
get a filter jug to save buying bottled water or even drink it from the tap
and so it went on .............................

 | i do get the feeling that the BBC thinks London is the "centre of everything" (having said that they are based there  )But with regards to some of the bullet points you made Brett: - i only go on one holiday a year for 5 days (normally) and most of the time it is within the UK by car (note not pumping ridiculus amounts of fuel by plane). We also spend a lot of time 'walking' or 'cycling' rather than using the car everywhere - drive less (hmm a bit difficult at the moment as I'm currently learning to drive) but i get the bus to school everyday and if i need to pop in town, i'll get the bus too - as expensive as it is. If they want us to use public services more then reduce the price! lol We have a Brita Filter - it just won't fit in the fridge door! So in summer months we pour tap water into a big plastic jug, stick it in the fridge door and voila - cold water  |
