Is that what you do then? 🤣

Good point. Whilst I agree that Insurance would be a probable limiting factor for this driver, I have to wonder why the police might consider that to be sufficient judgement of the driver's 'fitness to drive, according to the laws controlling driving skills, as opposed to the size of their wallet.

The local reporter wrote - "Officers traced the owner of the vehicle, who said it had broken down. Officers made a safety assessment and informed relevant parties. The matter was left with the landowner." The Police response can hardly be seen as addressing how a 'fit and proper' driver could get into the situation in the first place. There is a distinct lack of interest in how a driver could get that far into the situation, without having his / her competency addressed, by the police. As a result, that person will continue to be driving amongst us.....

Kevinlms said that he can't "repeat that". [That car is balanced on the top of a 2 / 3ft tree stump!] He may well try but ,given the lack of his ability to keep on the road, in the first place, the possibility of his ability to "repeat" perching his vehicle on top of a tree stump.....????? 👇

Got my "come-upance" this week. Jumped on the bike to check out some Pharmacy paperwork for Mrs R, only a round trip of just over 7 miles - and pleasant weather for a change. I had gone most of the way and mounted a pavement, at a section of lowered curb, followed by some stiff steering and bungy feel, as the inner tube lost it's pressure. A quick check showed no evidence of a puncture site and a realisation that the inner tube was bought before the dog and he's 13 1/2 ! As luck would have it, our local cycle shop was only 200 yards down the road, so a gentle walk for a replacement. I left it with them and walked the 300 yards to the pharmacy, to get the paperwork checked and returned in time to get on the bike and go back home. The Sun was definitely shining that day!

Wow, those cables are a right mess, particularly in this day and age, with so many multi connectors about. You did a good job tracing through all that lot.

Oh! Goodness gracious me! What have you done??..... Previous posts about ancient stone circles, Stonehenge, putting them on layouts..... All attracting attention, and you just posted a picture of one of their stones. The Druids aren't exactly known for sympathy for their sacrificial victims, so you'd best get a good supply of paracetamol in..... just sayin', eh??? ☠️

Figures rather suggest, sadly, the wider USofA, with the exception of Hawaii, would qualify.

The station buildings are still there, at Druid's Lodge, from when it was used in WWII, to service the impending D Day troops around there, as is the track ballast through the wood, in which the station was concealed. As an aside, the huge railway gun, Boche Buster was taken to Druid's Lodge, to be fired at the ranges on Salisbury Plain. Nice scene for the Oxford 00 model of the gun.

Bare hand punches should best be done with the heel of the hand, to any bony part of the opponent - or so I was informed.... .....whilst the surgeon was trying to pull the knuckle of the little finger carpel straighter than it had ended up. The resulting reduced length of the bone attached to the little finger, is apparently called Boxers Knuckle. Whilst appreciating his informed comments, I couldn't help but wonder if the information might have been more use before the punch.... 😃

Some years ago, I had a job, which included providing security for royals and senior politicians, whilst they were on RAF Stations. {Poison Chalice, or what??} At one such event the, then, current PM was being entertained at an RAF Anniversary celebration. All went well and whilst chatting to his Personal Protection Officer, during the reception drinks session, I asked if the PPOs were chosen such as to have the same political affiliation as their charges, so as to avoid conflict of interests. Apparently not, so the conversation moved on to the suit the PM was wearing. "Do you know how much that suit, that he's wearing cost?" he asked. "Not really, but it doesn't look to be very much." I replied. "That cost more than any other suit, uniform, in this room" he replied., adding "much of that cost goes into the cloth, but also into the treatment of the jacket pockets to make them baggy and look as if they had been stuffed with the weight of their contents for many years." {No more clues about the particular PM - enough already.} Back to the task in hand, conversation got professional about confirmation about previously discussed security arrangements were panning out. That confirmed to be in place, the conversation turned to his actions in response to events turning unpleasant. "Simple, try to sense where the attack is probably coming from, fire several shots in that direction and take to the nearest substantial cover." - I may be wrong, but I got the impression that the PPO wasn't of the same political persuasion as that PM.....

Apparently, modern research indicates that the continued breeding of these specialised creatures is mainly down to the scurrilous activities of the Scottish Trans Haggis Hound dogs, who have benefited from the First Minister's decision to allow the leg operations on the instant declaration of their gender change.

Well, that's two of the Staff that can't fix it then... the second clearly displaying the qualities to make a politician. 🙃

Perfect...

..... it'd be much easier to try using the Keyboard..... Runs and hides..... ... a very long way away!!

I met my first real girlfriend as we were doing some nude modelling, to help pay the way through college. It was instant attraction for each other and the class couldn't help but notice...

You should have seen it when it was first done, the 5 x outer Mini-roundabouts, slightly further in, to where those white spots are now. No guide lines like there are now, just a vast open grey tarmac space..... ..... and fear!! 😱

Fortunately, normal sales of these vehicles, don't include "bonus adolescent baffoon, chauffeur".

I don't kernow... ..... it's like coming up against a corn wall...

That would suggest that it could be available, for anyone to purchase, should they wish to.

It seems unlikely https://www.carcheck.co.uk/?not-found&exception=2&registration=LMS264T Julian

With any luck the wx will turn to good soon. Salisbury isn't that far from your wx experiences and it is certainly rather encouraging indoor activities. Perhaps the Arctic regions will run out of sufficient wet-stuff to throw our way and that big yellow duster will appear to cheer us up. I could certainly do with getting out and about again. Julian

In the absence of the RAF Police dogs or the RAF Reg't, they would probably have to resort to Conscripts... 🤣

How did you get lumbered with all that lot??... We are downwind from you, but only got 2 / 3 inches, which wasn't much bother to clean the cars off, but the estate isn't yet adopted, so the roads to the main road, still had a covering. The busses decided they would not to run round the estate because of the snow, so I got to run the little one into school..... interestingly, followed round the estate... by a bus!! 🤣 I guess their website hadn't caught up with progress on the roads.

A girl in exercise gear, a bottle of wine, labelled "Yoga", claims suggested that it's the wine that relieves the stress better than the exercise version {and... All on RM Web}..... and you checked the label..... ..... Oh ye of little faith!! 😂
