I filled up mid February and have three quarters of a tank left! One trip to Norwich, return trip to the dealer for MOT & service & a boot full of garden clippings to the recycling centre. Less than 150 miles in 2 months.

All the cars that normally fill the roads and car parks are lined along the streets.
The bin men are finding it harder to negotiate their way through with their wagons.

Mental arithmetic for an otherwise manual and repetitive job.

So how do you catch them up?Yep. It’s also hilarious when you find yourself behind someone... and suddenly they start obeying the speed limits.

You don’t, you’re doing the speed limit, and they suddenly stop moving further away.So how do you catch them up?

I think I might have a robin nesting in mine- it keeps flying behind the front wheel...

I'm annoyed I allowed the son's recovery truck to renew it's VED it's not going anywhere & could have been SORN instead but I suppose the Government need as much money as they can lay their hands on

Got a letter this morning to say that the DD I had setup has been refused, I was on our bank account end of last month & we must have had 5 DD's for DVLA I clearly cancelled one of the wrong ones. But that means the truck can be SORN & save some money, it's now been taken to my father's house, battery removed, one wheel removed & another couple of sneaky immobilisation done.
I was walking the dog over the private country estate yesterday morning, it's only about 1 mile from the A1 but you don't really hear the traffic or at least I didn't think you did when I normally walk there, yesterday it was very obvious by its absence, it was very quiet apart from the birds, I thought I heard a woodpecker, not a bird I've ever heard around here before.
