Re: Your fleet running reports

Replaced all three wipers on the Galaxy. It was disappointingly simple and easy. Didn't take five minutes.

Difference it makes on the car is astonishing though. No smearing, squeaking or juddering. Should have done it much sooner!

Re: The Cave lads are all out...

Without wanting to diminish anything gone into rescuing the boys, imagine if we'd put the same amount of effort into preventing migrants drowning as they try to cross the Med.

Re: Bye bye Theresa

One of the EU lot today tweeted something along the lines of now Boris and Gove have gone it’s a shame the notion of Brexit hasn’t gone with them. It was in such a way that we’d be welcome back with open arms. The opportunity is still very much there if we cancelled the whole thing. That would be a...

Re: Bye bye Theresa

Unzippy is correct. And DJ, I think you’ll find that a lot of the UKIP headbangers view you as the “right sort” of immigrant (rhotacise at will). Their focus (ironically, since most of the originating countries are nowhere near the EU) is on immigrants from, ahem, different cultural backgrounds. Th...

Re: Bye bye Theresa

As one of the highly skilled migrants that has made a life here I can vouch that the sense of rejection is real. I, and many thousands of others, have made our home here, yet didn't get a vote in the referendum. Britain has definitely been diminished by the vote and the ensuing ugliness. Had it not ...

Alex, I see they offer Danish as a language for the 3 words. So as a test, where does ///busser.reoler.oplæser take you? That'll be off the B4217 in Moseley in Birmingham - is that the address of the curry house we went to? One of the changes I could think of to make it more sensible is some kind o...

Re: Higher income child benefit charge

We've never claimed, but had to register as claiming nothing (once for each child, no ability for them to recognise that if I don't claim for the first child and have not notified them of a change in conditions I'm not going to claim for subsequent sprogs). ISTR that it can otherwise impact on the c...

I can see some merit in the idea, but not as it is currently implemented.

Needs a rethink to make it sensible.

Can't fault your commitment to the highest mileage E36 M3 in the world (you still retain the title I assume).

Looks a good result to me.
