Mad - or just plain barking???

[wilma-bride]

Would you drive 75 miles just to go to the cinema with a mate?

 

[natalielongstaff]

Nah i wouldnt bother

 

[wilma-bride]

Nah i wouldnt bother

Lol, it's a serious question - I just wondered whether anyone else thinks it's completely mad. You wouldn't believe how many people have been gobsmacked at the idea.

 

[mandymouse]

Nah i wouldnt bother

Nor me

 

[wickesy]

Not regularly but every now and then, sure why not.

 

[tony64]

Only if they were paying.
having said that I've been know to do it for a bacon sandwich.

 

[scottish mum]

I would but we live in the middle of nowhere and are used to long drives to get anywhere

 

[Minniespal]

I did it once but only cause the cinema near her wasn't showing the film. I drove 45 miles to my friend's flat, she followed me back in her car. We ended up going to a cinema that my 6 miles away. I did a 102 mile journey to go 12 miles

If it was to see a film then maybe do shopping after yes,but otherwise no.

 

[Pinky166]

If you don't see them very often then yes...but I would go for a meal or drink too.

 

[Frances999]

If it was with a meal/some shopping too, then absolutely! But since going to the cinema by itself isn't particularly social or a chance to have a chat and catch up, probably not.....

 

[tennisfan]

It would have to be more then just the cinema for me.

 

[PoppyAnna]

Yeah why not. As a Mother of two young children who I love dearly but rarely get time away from, I'd see 75 miles alone in a car with all my CD's as heaven. Put my Alan Bennett Talking Heads CD on and the time would fly
Is that one way, or the round trip?

Good point Joanne - I love driving, especially when it's just me and I can turn the music up LOUD!

It is 75 miles each way - but I reckon it's worth it

so do I, and at least i know you won't let me down at the last minute x

True!

 

[Trilli-magic]

I would!! I haven't been to the cinema since my kids were born and my oldest was 3 in Dec!!! lol

 

[higgy66]

I would say it depends on the friend.

I have 2 best friends who I would definitely do the trip for as I know they would do it for me. I'm out with them on Friday and each of us will do a 45 miles round trip.

As for the other friends I have to be honest and say no.

My DH best friend is "dropping" our anniversary card off this weekend and that's a 4 hours drive each way. Now that's friendship!

Wow!

I wouldn't do it on a regular basis but I could see myself doing it, if I could drive that is!

 

[jjk]
