Aww - lovely. I'd simply not want to drive something that clean on the agricultural leavings that pass for roads here.
Thanks for the link

I'm getting that warm feeling from having saved lots of money, plus getting my old Qashqai through another MoT. It didn't actually pass, but failed on a cv boot and a blocked washer jet. Garage quote to mend that was nearly 200quid and they wouldn't do it within the next fortnight. I managed to do it for £12.50 this afternoon. Fixing the washer jet actually took nearly as long as replacing the boot, I couldn't clear the jet by blowing through it, either manually or with an air line. I then had the idea of sucking instead which dislodged lots of gritty unmentionable sludge which ended up (briefly) in my mouth.

It's the only way that works.  Disgusting, yet satisfying.

High mileage and I'm not sure but I think there is water in the engine. I can provide prospective buyers with a wet suit, goggles and a snorkel to check it out.

Just been for a face to face interview for Universal Credit.  The lad behind the screen was talking about payment dates and stuff.  I said does this mean I've been approved then?  Apparently it does, woohoo!

It seems odd but if you think about it People buy part worn tyres, to save maybe 30 quid?

I was going to say that's not quite the same thing, but actually it is.

It's been my entire life, and not through choice.  If people are going to jump on my bandwagon, it would be nice of them to wait for me to jump off!
