This is a huge problem. Most people aren't actually carrying any cash and since Covid, some businesses have decided that money is dirty and carries germs.
Then, like the huge sweet lorry (traveller type) that was at an event yesterday, they had a sign telling people why they were cash only.

Most of the reasons said "tax dodging" to me. Things like "Little jobs that are done as cash-in-hand" (not relevant to a business that's clearly turning over thousands of pounds a day at an event like this). Saying that the Government wanted to see where money was being transacted.

Because I'm an office worker, I pay a shit load of tax, because loads of other people don't. I keep saying, if everyone paid 20% on everything they earned over a certain amount, we wouldn't need 40 or 45% tax rates and the thresholds could be raised.

Flat tax rate of 10% here in Bulgaria

That's a Super3, a new model from Morgan. Yours truly did the launch video for that. https://www.motorpunk.co.uk/video/first-depth-film-morgans-super3/

I've really gotten into baking over the last year. I know it's not for everyone but I find tremendous escapism in it, and an excuse to use about 3 and a bit packs of chocolate fingers. Also I got in touch with the bloke who bought my second Twingo and he's giving me back the number plate my dad got me for my 18th birthday. That's not just superb, that's Skoda superb.

Got given some jam, so felt fancy and actually had some breakfast.

Why bother with the gravel? Just park over a storm drain.

Not sure if this should be a grin or a grump.

Having seen a certain famous Simpsons episode recently, I now cannot see a massive SUV like a Q7, Bentgayer or RR Vulgar go by without "Canyoneroooooo...." starting up in my head.

So having seen a video of the Italian train that goes on the ferry

For whatever reason from.helsinki to talimn it says the bus ( flixbus) goes on it

Thought it was bollox till clicked the.info about the bus and it mentions Warsaw and.i think the station where it ends up

They do have trains near both ports wtf

Been over a year since i sadly had to get shot of the tina bought from @Stinkwheel Its much morned did a load of work on it and now a bit boy'd up by the fact it may still live. Didn't need too much and in hindsight would of done it myself as  council still ain't pulled down my not yet fallen down garage. It may still live, wonderful thing.

Had a day trip to France in the DS, it was much admired by many people and I even got a flash and a wave from someone in a Visa softop near Cap Gris Nez.

Missed our scheduled return ferry due to losing the car in City Europe's car parks but Irish* ferries did not charge us extra for catching a later one and even texted an apology for us being delayed by queues at border control.

*I have no idea why they run a service on Dover-Calais either but they are the cheapest 😃

They do duck down and hide behind modern monsters 😁

Who new that entrance 5 to a car park was on the other side of the complex to the different car park with 4 and 6 and it has the same row lettering and all underground car parks look the same. Once we found where the car was I went back into the building looking for a non-existent lift to take the fully loaded with wine shopping cart down to our level, just stairs so I had to go right over to the car entrance ramp. By then Mrs DS had gone looking for me in the building.

We'll know next time 😆
