Gone driving
Have you ever gone for a drive, just because you felt like it?
Apparently, according to a survey by a car insurance provider and Populus, a lot of people do.
They polled more than 20,000 motorists, and revealed that 55% of drivers have got behind the wheel and gone for a destinationless spin.
Furthermore, 10% of people do it every week!
It sounds unwise, when you think about how expensive fuel is at the moment…
However, I know how nice it can be to just drive.
Owning a car is like having a room no-one can barge into – it’s relaxing.
In your vehicle you can go where the wind (and importantly the road) takes you. No one can pop in to say that some programme on TV’s just about to start, or to ask you why you haven’t cleaned the dishes yet.
Of course, it’s very important not to get too carried away. The road is no place for dangerous or distracted drivers! So, if you fancy going for a drive, make sure you’re not doing it in an emotional state – otherwise you could suffer a traffic accident.

Fancy saving some money on lunch?
At the moment I’m finding it pretty difficult to escape from the multiple news pieces about the rising costs of fuel and car insurance which is making life for drivers a little bit less affordable.
However, we can all clap and rejoice as the Royal Society of Chemistry has suggested a new way for us to save our pennies. It has introduced... The toast sandwich!
Unfortunately, the actual delicacy is no more exciting than title suggests, consisting of a thin slice of toasted bread sandwiched between another two slices of untoasted bread. More daring consumers can choose to add butter, salt and pepper if they so desire.
Pros of the sandwich include its price – just 7.5p a serving – and a very quick preparation time. However, for me, the sandwich doesn’t even seem worth trying!
I’m sure the Earl of Sandwich is turning in his grave.
As for saving some money, I think I’d benefit a lot more from cancelling that gym membership I never use.
