Jeremy Vine on R2 at 12 talking about what's coming up on today's show.  Blah, blah, blah, 9 year old surprised parents by digging up a live hand grenade in the garden, if its happened to you give us a call... - Fishing in a pretty shallow pool there Jezza!

Not round here, where a housing estate has recently gone up on what turns out to be the site of a (not very well-cleared, either then or now!) WW2 ordnance depot...

i’ve never installed parking sensors before and i’m incredibly happy with how it turned out

really simple job to do, with zero hiccups either!

so yeah quite happy with that

Went to booths and they have children's interpretive posters in the windows for the coronation.  Corgis, cakes, crowns etc. One child has attempted to draw Charles, but sadly it's come out more like Count Von Count from sesame street.

Great day had. 

Had a visit from @AnnoyingPentiumtoday.

He brought me a present. A mix CD of dance tracks specifically for listening in the Cavalier. Aye, it reminded me of the evenings spent doing laps of the toon or going to cruises at the retail parks. 

Shit! I feel old now 😂

Got some car stuff done too, but I'll let him tell yous about it.

Was lovely to pop back doon for a much needed catch up. Thanks for having me.

Thanks for fitting the sunstrip thingy as well, was nice to get the three motors together too. :)

Took a picture in Stockton heath,this car makes me smile like I've just seen a puppy 

didn't notice the shop behind until someone pointed it out, though both could apply, one for the car and one for the driver

I took the induction kit off because it was really annoying, it's got the standard exhaust on which is just a bit of a burble, though I'm reading about a monza exhaust with a noisy/not noisy valve on it

The valves sieze in noisy mode within about 6 months, I had two replacements on mine under warranty. They're just sprung and open up under load. Truth be told they aren't too loud really even when stuck open

Booths?  Like an overpriced Waitrose?

Nearest waitrose is Otley, which is great if you want to spend 40 minutes in stop start traffic each way. Ilkley is a lot nicer to visit, and of course it's how you shop not where you shop.
