FOOTNOTES: With the prospect of another 450 houses being built at the back of Peacehaven, thus, at the rate of two cars most households, putting another 700 to 900 cars per day accessing the A259, I am seriously considering giving up the car again. I did make this decision some time ago, but after a trip on a bus into Brighton, where I was thrown about like a sack of potatoes as the driver demonstrated his accelerate hard and brake even harder system of driving, and where my fingers had to be prised from the chromium pole I was clinging in terror to, I had decided to remain with Maud, my small and very reliable car. I only make very few journeys these days, mainly to Eastbourne or Brighton or the station at Lewes if I am venturing into London. Another reason for clinging onto Maud, is it’s very convenient for carting Chaplin to the vet for his yearly check-ups. To say nothing of the times that I have to be at my doctors sometimes very early in the morning. And of course, for the odd occasion when I run out of milk, or the paper boy leaves me off his round and I have to collect it myself. One alternative I did consider was a mobility scooter, but I have this terrible problem being old, and not admitting or identifying with it. In my head I am fourteen and the thought of joining the ranks of those I see hurtling around the pavements fills me with dread. There will be those who will say ‘walk’ and you will be joining a long queue of nurses, doctors, chiropodists, et al, in doing so. I suspect it has now taken the place of the once obligatory, ‘How many cigarettes a day do you smoke?’, which at one time every medic I ever saw would ask. Whatever amount you replied with, the figure usually halved to lessen the blow, the answer was always met with a sniff and the comment. ‘Well there you are, you see.’ So, for the time being Maud remains, because comfort, accessibility, and reliability remain paramount. To say nothing of the need for Chaplin’s privacy on his trips to the vet. I shall try and arrange my trips outside the town to avoid the rush hours and manage in that way, although that does not answer the problems of another near thousand people descending on the doctors surgery, post office, council etc. Have a splendid week, go safely wherever your life takes you.
