Good news. The ladies only classes have stopped at my leisure centre.

Myself and a few other men have complained to our local leisure centre about classes which only ladies can use.
Our argument was they were not providing men only classes and if the ladies wanted ladies only classes without equivalent men only classes the ladies which use these classes should pay extra as it is a council leisure centre for everybody to use.
They have done a survey and found that none of the ladies going to these classes were bothered about men being in them.
As far as I am concerned any ladies who want ladies only classes should go to private gyms.
The membership fees are a lot higher than the local leisure centre but that is their problem.

And you must spend a fortune on petrol, Frank, all that driving you do...

HUNTERF Only if you're buying the drinks. wink

janthea Depends how often you go and, of course, the membership fee. Going five days a week and with off-peak membership (i.e. 9–5 weekdays only) works out at just over £1 per session for both gym and pool.

Hi Ana

Unfortunately there are a lot of elderly people in our family who chose to live on the north side of Birmingham and have medical conditions which require treatment in hospitals on the south side.
These people can no longer drive.
They could in theory get hospital transport but this would take all day.
As ex drivers they do help out with the petrol costs and send me some money when I change the car which helps.
I also go on my holidays by car which again runs up the mileage.
I do also take my granddaughters to various appointments but I think it would be almost impossible to get money from them.
In some cases I think it would be cheaper for the elderly relatives to get a taxi but they prefer to have a relative with them especially when forms are being filled in.
I tend to jog their memory when they are asked about past medical history.

Hi absent

You don't get other people to buy all your drinks?.

You make me sound like a total sot HUNTERF. Incidentally, while I go the gym/pool five days a week, I don't go to the pub anything like so frequently.
