  1. Have you seen the TV this morning, showing all the peeps queuing up waiting for the shops to open? Somehow I feel social distancing is going out the window as soon as the doors open!
  2. Pop down here, a lot in the local tidal river........not seen any Great types yet though, our Doctors car park is a great place to view them from, I always tell the Doc he has the best view from a surgery I know.
  3. Two Goldfinches on our balcony this morning collecting spider webs for their nest, no photos as IDE only just woken up
  4. Worse thing I found with our 7 was when left parked alongside a kerb, almost every time who ever parked either end would “nudge” it trying to judge where it was, no serious damage was done as a result (back end at least had the spare wheel there) but even when sitting in it the same would happen, they looked more carefully when a 6’2” 17 stone weakling got out of it and asked them to be more careful
  5. I remember a lot of them were fitted with long antennas with flags on the top, the C5 was so low as to be almost invisible from inside a car close to the C5
  6. You must have forgotten your on RMWeb
  7. The original wheels were made of plastic, it’s entirely possible at this age they have just got too material fatigued to be safe.
  8. I wonder which vaccine you will be having and if that has a bearing on the paracetamol advice?
  9. The L322 Range Rover had the same, had to engage park before you could remove the ignition key. I suspect there are a few more like that also.
  10. Early Minis had an ignition switch but also had a starter button in a shroud fitted on the floor by the drivers seat, it was in fact the starter solenoid, an easy fit as the battery was in the boot and the battery cable ran under the floor to the engine bay.
  11. Didn’t I read it has that feature?
  12. Still remember the evap milk slurping out the triangle onto my Nan’s apple pie.......mmmmm
  13. It’s a shame some joker never changed the ‘1’ to a ‘4’ on those “special” turns
  14. A bit strange, our experience has been completely the opposite, I’d say 80% of our friends down here are in the older/vulnerable groups and although having had the first jab (and some recently the second) they are still resolutely determined to be extra careful and always comment upon if they have to go shopping the younger population (as us old gits call them) seem to not even realise there are rules in place, and several have actually seen quite intimidating “bust ups” in Morrison’s and Sainsbury’s stores with staff trying to convince younger family groups to obey the rules. As for the holiday makers already coming here.....I’ve commented upon that already.
  15. That’s odd as being in that business and now the U.K. is “outside” the EU seamless trading area I would have thought your businesses would have been busier than ever?
  16. That’s going the the n’th degree
  17. Mk2 Mini Cooper S........Mk3 Mini Cooper S..........Elan Sprint DHC........and many more
  18. And only just allowed down here recently to “clean and prepare” the dwelling, not actually live here, but I fear that changes this week.
  19. Yes, but doesn’t work well down here as a lot of the residents are from the Midlands (and lovely people they are too) who have come down for work, but in our particular town an awful lot of cars/trucks have personal plates, not expensive plates but the town’s name lends itself to the first four digits easily obtainable from DVLC, so they are easily spottable and get away with parking where “up country” type can’t
  20. Have you read my signature comment? The woke generation, f******g the world up one righteous line at a time. OK....it’s been wine time for a while now, mussels almost ready to dunk and then it’s onto the hard stuff......so anything I have said here will not count at all
  21. I think you mean the box offices will be smashed........
