I travel by motorbike in the bus lanes. Would be better without the buses TBH :-S I did my minibus refresher training earlier in the year and the instructor said that minibuses can use bus lanes. Not sure I'd want to put that to the test!
As you say Ernie, daughters? Won't see any of the 'borrowed' money that she has had ever again I don't think Ern, but she has had a shed load of sh*t to deal with and still has, she has a daughter herself and is helping her within her limited means, its endless. And as you say to take away fear and worry, if only for a short time, is worth it's weight in gold, I wish I had the mean to take it away permanently but I haven't. Our son gets help as well but in a different way, free babysitting stops him from having to fork out for nursery care, which is a reward in its own way as we get to see our grandchildren, but it goes even further, I now have a great granddaughter lol no wonder I don't have much hair and what I have is white. Retired? mmm
Actually I lied! I realised the next morning I had no email confirmation and when I checked, it hadn't gone through. Great, I started redrafting the appeal, armed with new found knowledge on the Kornbluth court case and refer to the de minimis principle. While compiling this, I noticed the fine was actually only 30 quid if paid with 14 days. Sadly folks, I decided I could n't be bothered and paid it. Probably more angry, but with myself now.
