Ha ha ha – did you see the gorgeous photos of Formentera where we went snorkelling this Summer? Or our fab trip to Ibiza this Spring, oh and let’s not forget the short jaunt to Florence … bet you’re really jealous now

Impossible ! Driving to the airport twice, getting on a plane twice and utilising a vehicle with an engine in North Africa rather then an “ass” cannot be carbon neutral.
Of course if I missed the announcement in the paper (sorry electronic media) that you had just replanted the Amazon rainforest , my apologies.
Yes , I do have a number of vehicles parked in my driveway but am sorry to disappoint no SUV’s.Of course I could wait for that non polluting big red bus to take me to work.But then I would never get to work.Since , one there is no public transport available and two – that non polluting bus running on water does not yet exist.
As to your point about having the most expensive bikes in the world as your primary transport , that’s good for you. However getting around on a bike here is just plain nuts.But if you like being completely sodden because of the heat and humidity then utilising a bike is a wonderful idea.
Finally as to being jealous of that trip you took my response to that is unabashedly YES!

You’re just jealous! Our trip was carbon-neutral – and how many SUVs are parked in your drive? Our 4 wheels consist of 2 bikes…

I wish she was reading my old copies of The Dandy. In actuality the insight was gained by reading the Christmas book/ annual.
While I understand your urge to save the planet by becoming exasperated at the free gifts the Beano is apparently showering you with ; I do however find it a little disingenuous when you are also at the same time blogging about zipping over to the North of Africa. Seriously, how does that footprint compare to a few trinkets in a comic.
Now I take back the above statment if your journey consisted of sailing on the latest tea clipper and you only rode an “ass” whilst in country.

Meg asked me to pass on the following : the real concern would be if the pricing of the Dandy was following the same path as that of the Beano. Apparently everyone knows that the Dandy is a much superior comic.

It warmed my heart to learn the Beano was still going, DaddaCool posted a similar blog about the crazy price inflation quite recently too. You guys should get together for the cause! .-= Kim@EnjoyTheRide´s last blog ..Embarassing Moments =-.
