Time to start putting the car in the garage me thinks.

Oh, where did I see it that really funny video of an old man parking his car in his garage? Seriously, it doesn't sound funny, but wait until you see it...!

Hopefully, it wasn't in this thread or elsewhere on CycleChat. I'll search through my YouTube history...

Here you go!



If he tried doing that here, someone would nick his bike while he was doing it!

Brilliant! Our garage is big enough for two cars.......just. When we go away for a few weeks we like to put both cars in the garage. I reverse mine in first. I then drive Mrs. P's in next to it but there's no room to open the doors. Mrs P then opens the tailgate on her car and I climb in to the back out of the boot!!

Mine is a single garage but its about 35+ feet long. Just enough room on either side of my garage to get out.

@PaulSB that's a very useful tip about the Land Registry, just signed up!

 

[Sterlo]

I’m not able to remember all the details . I remember reading a Yorkshire carpenter carved a mouse as signature on his work which was usually on the end pieces of church pews.I can’t remember all the details.
Perhaps our Yorkshire members could provide more information

I'm assuming you're talking about Robert Thompson, I don't know much about him but remembered the name as soon as you mentioned the mouses, meeces, mices, rodent carvings. I think there are some copies out there.

I've seen the parking video, I can't remember if it was on here or on facebook

Indeed.
It comes from way back when I was a rep and needed to be on the road early. The habit just stuck.

For those who enjoyed The Cake Fridge in this week’s episode of Shetland...

OK guys serious stuff. I think it was either @dave r or @Dirk who posted the story about the vicar whose house was sold without his knowledge and he has now lost it because it is legally registered with the Land Registry after being sold to someone else. Apparently Bedfordshire police have arrested someone on fraud charges.

Mrs P heard the story on the R4 "You and Yours" programme today. One can sign up for alerts from the Land Registry if there are any changes to title at the LR. There is a free service which simply sends an email alert or another service which for £40pa means nothing can be altered without one's express consent.

I've signed up for three properties this afternoon. Our allotment, garage and house are on three separate titles so have to be monitored individually. It's very simple. The only tricky bit was our address wasn't recognised in the property search, caused a mild panic till I saw the option to search by Title Number.

Here is the link if anyone is interested or concerned https://propertyalert.landregistry.gov.uk/

I don’t suppose you noticed if You And Yours mentioned about what applies in Scotland ? (Just looked at the Register of Scotland website, they don’t seem to offer a similar service.)

Part of my regular(ish) walks takes me thro a modern estate. All houses have a garage but it really puzzles me how anyone could possibly get a car in.

The council and my housing association must have come to some agreement and today said council picked up the black rubbish bags

You might have posted one of your facebook links here? I didn't find any mention of the video when I searched for "old man" on CC.
