  2. is imbued with all the confidence of someone who's just realised he's put diesel in a petrol-powered car...

      I would be very surprised if it hadn't filtered through yet.

      More likely the tiny amount compared to the quantity of petrol has not caused any issues.

      The friend with the old Jag didn't even get it on the transporter on the forecourt before it cut out.

      Enough in the bowls of the SUs to start it and move it short distance but that was it.

      It sounds like everything is fine.

      Know a guy who did the same thing recently in Jag..the 'V Power' on the diesel pump confused him.

      I love the quality and tradition of a proper watch with a Swiss movement and wear one..but my daughter bought an Apple Watch last year and I have to say its impressive.

      We will all be wearing this sort of thing before long.

  14. You know it’s “you” when after 12 months of splitting/separating from your wife none of your mutual friends have invited you out or asked how you are :-(

      Been there.. don't let it get you down and remember you have to close one chapter before you can open the next.

      See it as an opportunity to move on and when things are better you will look back and not regret the actions because better to move on with the opportunity to start fresh than be stuck in a relationship going nowhere.

      Mr Franks' words above are also wise and likely apply too.
