This. The development is not the thing, you'd get that done. But the maintenance would kill your free time.

Small tip: can't she open up a shop on e-bay? Or have a catalog site that ultimately refers to e-bay for the actual sales?

Yup. I wanted to check out the costs, compared to other private hire firms, of a people carrier from Heathrow to Woking. Most firms are more than happy to give a quote.
To get one from Uber, I not only have to sign up, which is not a problem, but I have to provide credit card information up front. This is very presumptive that I will choose their service. It's like Waitrose making me buy stuff before they give away a coffee!
They're almost like that King who stood in front of the tide. 
[edit]
I take it back, you can get a guesstimate without signing up, but it wasnt easy to find the link and I are good at googlies. Now I have decide if it's worth it.
[Spoiler: Not really, even for four]

It's only about £40 with any of our local firms. Er, well that was almost three years ago.

I finally got a price of £35 - £40 from Uber for a large car / people carrier, wot we need due to luggage, and it sounds like it might be a better idea as I can just ping them once the goils land.

One guy with a knife out of 8.6 million?
I'd say your friend's still pretty safe
- odds of meeting the guy are up there with winning a national lottery. (Tell him to quickly buy a ticket.)
Problem with the news today, too much of it, seemingly more on s slow day.
... ohh look, Trump just blew his nose, lets assemble a large panel of experts and discuss his odds of surviving ..., wait, Rihanna seen shopping ... wait, a duck just crossed the road near central park ...

sure - that wasn't the actual intent of the post though, just a 'by-thought' - we can talk about 'odds', but that wont help the families of the ?5 dead (so far) who expected their loved ones to come home tonight
... I guess posting on forums wont help them much either

Whilst we're at it, let's offer our prayers to all the people in London who got run over by cars, who slipped in the bath and died, who died of some disease or other, who died of old age, who sneezed too hard and killed passersby with their dentures, who took overdoses of drugs and died, who were murdered by people who are criminals, not ter'r'rists, etc, etc, etc.
Then let's approve spending another handful of million quid on letting security forces spy on us, purportedly to protect us from the one nutter every few years with a knife, who's labelled as a ter'r'rist.

I'm sparing a thought for my friend, in London, who was just told he's clear of cancer.

Why exactly? Isn't it right that there are many more people every day who might have needed some help? Compassion is only a noble thing when it's followed by actions.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Cheers. I didn't want to reply to such an ignorant and rude remark.

Then maybe you should have started your own thread rather than hijacking this one.

Hijacking?
I gave my opinion on the topic.
That's allowed, isn't it?

So disagreeing with a sentiment is criticism, now, is it?
So now I'm not only a hijacker, but also a critic?
Y'know, I only ever insult two people, within CP, and they've bloody well earned it.
Maybe others should follow my example, and discuss opinions -- whilst allowing others to have differing opinions -- rather than insult people personally.
If no-one is allowed to express opinions that are different from the one of the OP, then CP will become pretty damned dull, pretty damned fast.

Try reading my comment again - calmly.

So far, I have personally been accused of hijacking threads, and of criticising others.
Neither is true, as I have merely stated my opinion, without insulting or criticising anyone,
But personal insults (and criticisms) have still been thrown at me.
Ask yourself who the bad guy is, here.

I just said that your comment read like that, I accused you of nothing.
