richardmorris Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Frosty this morning, I took the Mercedes to box hill to go for a walk.First one in the carpark at 8.30- rammed when I got back at 12.30!Denbies premier cru.Also, are any Londoners able to identify the city buildings please? Looking nnw from great bookham, so it would be Heathrow for all I know. Extreme zoom on the camera. It can’t be battersea power station can it?.EDIT: rather disappointingly it seems to be Woking - the shanghai of surrey.Panorama south from the viewpoint at boxhill.

M'coli Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 The value of my little Pug 106 shot up by about 15% in the space of a couple of minutes today when I washed it and filled it with diesel - it's the first time for months that I've not fed it any veg.

Got just under half a tank left and 500 miles down though so not feeling as bad as I did 2 weeks ago tonight! M'coli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They_all_do_that_sir Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Probably a cockup on the part of the DVLA or Irish licencing authority.As I understand it he has a valid UK car and bike license. Which he's been in court defending in the past, I think he has something ridiculous like 13 penalty points. He also has a real or fake Irish license with HGV entitlement for whatever reason....perhaps he got it while racing bikes in Ireland. He has sent that to DVLA in an attempt to transfer the Irish HGV entitlement to the UK license which is fine....but either the UK or Ireland is claiming the Irish license is a fake Sent from my TA-1012 using Tapatalk SiC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Mrs DW's first 2CV camp, and the first time I let her drive my 2CV.It was a rugby club, very very flat, but decent (ish) showers and food and bar on site. Unfortunately it was the start of the demise of the club, as it was so much effort and hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mally Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Spent much of the day taking Mrs Mally to Hospital. Realised at 3pm I hadn't had food or a drink yet.First doctor said she's dehydrated, no great problem.Second doctor after through examination and blood test was a little more ominous,Admitted for further tests and scans.I mention this every time, but wherever I go, the NHS and it's staff are great.
