I don't see any point getting involved in squabbles. It just wastes time, doesn't achieve anything (other than to annoy and upset others and, probably, myself as well) and detracts from what I'm here to achieve. So there I was - alone (with apologies to others who were also posting usefully at the time) and valiantly struggling to keep the money-saving going. The ability to ignore extraneous things is a great gift. Although it can be a curse as well at times, as other extraneous things can affect me more extremely than they do other people (not that the extremity is necessarily bad - it can mean I notice things that others don't but can also mean I get distracted by things that I notice, which of course don't distract others (who don't notice them!)). It can also be that it's a curse as some extraneous things that I ignore or don't pay as much attention to as perhaps I should turn out to be very important and I've missed them! Or others occasionally think I'm day-dreaming, when in fact I've noticed other things and far more things that they ever noticed!:D:cool::)
Brilliant!!:T:T

Following on from my last post (I know not money-saving related but this thread often goes off-topic), I've found (re-found) this interesting article:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/05/130508131829.htm
(I'm not a child but I'm sure it also applies to me!)
I think this is why I appear, to me, to notice traffic light changes whilst virtually everyone else driving on the roads appears to be inattentive and slow to react. (Except if they're got passengers in the car, and then they are very attentive to them, engrossed in social conversation with them and oblivious to actual driving.)
I've also started to notice the following, after wondering about how I perceive things and how others might, and noticed that I'm left there, waiting behind them, when they are sitting behind a light that has gone to green, while they appear to wait for a split second before moving. I'd have been gone (assuming it was safe) if I was first in the line! Don't mess around, me.
Of course I slow down for the 30 mile an hour signs that lead off dual carriageways. Whilst everyone else sails through, speeding. I end up with them right up behind me - it's dangerous to comply with the road rules at times, but not my fault: I'm doing what the speed limit allows me to do and it's you that is not! Just so long as I'm aware (and acutely I am) that 'everyone else' will be behaving in this way and take steps to mitigate it, such as slowly braking from some time in advance.
And..ha ha!.. there is a money-saving connection that now gives a reason to this post (a reason it didn't possess, and I couldn't foresee it possessing, at the beginning). Slowly braking also, of course, helps save fuel (although in what way I can never remember:o:o, without looking up Martin again on this website) and slowing down, e.g. not driving above 60mph as if you do it puts your revs on over 3 and hence uses up more fuel, it course it also depends on the car, efficiency and its condition etc., also helps save fuel and hence cost less!
Why do people normally drive at 45mph in a 30mph zone (or 55mph in a 40) but, give them a 60mph speed limit - and they drive at 40mph!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::think:?!??!0
