Win win. You were probably 50% less risk last year and 20% this year if the lockdown easing continues as planned. 

They don't give a money away..it's a competitive market. Etc. 

Just wait for it to go up, once all those people who have forgotten how to drive get back out on the road (with partially seized brakes and semi-flat tyres)

I am happy for them to think that, but the mileages have hardly altered as my businesses have been permitted to remain open throughout.

Less traffic on the road ? 

[High Jetter]

True, and my usual trip times reduced noticeably at the beginning of the first lockdown, though less so now. School runs back on today, half the parents have forgotten how to drive it seems.

@stuboy; do you have any relatives in South Africa? If anyone likes that kind of thing it's for sale for 3250 BINs.

Woohoo! Lexus ready for another year of wafting about:

That was with pretty much zero prep, just topping up the tyres and swapping a non-flat battery across due to lack of use since the last MoT expired at the end of December. And that was an extended MoT, so it last darkened the doors of a test centre in June 2019. I was expecting to get a failure and that would be my shopping list of things to address/despair about.

Have celebrated by asking for an oil change on it, and getting the advisories priced-up. At least there were no rot issues mentioned, nor suspension bushes and joints which can be a killer on the LS.

If you like your internetz and live in the <5% of the country that BT struggle to supply with reliable telephone service never mind fibre optic, it may make sense; can starlink be readily used as a node for a group of houses/block of flats etc?

I was looking for parts on a FB group and I found a link to a free manual, it turned out to be one of those spammy ebook sites with a load of fake comments with the title pasted in.

My money's on either of the Kents; they have a rep for being well up their own arses; not naming is bollocks, she's doing exactly what she's moaning at the shitrags for, peddling gossip.

Not arsed really... in the 21st century we should be doing away with the lot of them, both the privileged by birth and 14th rate actresses/Jerry Springer escapees alike.
