My Dad (92) lives in London:
Has a washing line
Has a milkman
We both have landlines
I fix and service my own car still.
I fix domestic appliances when they fuck up. (Thermostats, Elements, belts, door seals etc etc)
I do electrical and plumbing repairs myself unless I'm not allowed by stupid EU law.
You learn a lot when you are young and can't afford to pay someone else.
Now I'm old and can afford to pay but choose to do stuff myself as you get a great deal of self satisfaction and save a mint.
Yes I'm a tight old fucker.
