    I posted about my friend Ali Evans, a couple of weeks ago. Who sadly died from cancer.
    It’s her funeral on Tuesday & I really need to go.
    I don’t drive & it’s impossible to make it on time on public transport.
    She was a brilliant lady, good copper & an awesome animal rights activist.
    If anyone is free, I’ll gladly pay £100 plus fuel for a lift there & home. Or can draw you pet in return, whatever’s preferable.
    8.30 start, I reckon.. Going here.. LN8 2DQ..

    If you can't get anything sorted off here it might be worth ringing a local taxi firm and seeing what they say. If it's during the day their fares for distances like that can be surprisingly reasonable...

    Yeah, Tuesday is typically the day I definitely can’t do but I looked at some taxi rates online. They’re about £160 return but I bet cheaper could be had from a direct phone call to a local company.

    Also worth noting that it's only around £140 return via Uber

    The funeral is WHEN???? Was your mate a vampire?

    Hope you get something sorted Mr C. Says a lot about a person when they're prepared to put so much effort in to paying their respects to someone.

    I’d really like to take my old Alfie. I don’t like leaving him alone too long. It’s not in the contract.. :)

    Option 2 from me is probably more preferable if you are content

    Not often we get a thread that's both sad and uplifting at the same time. Condolences Mr C, but good to see so many offers of help and advice.
