I had this one time with an MOT - got home and realised they’d put in the wrong mileage. Phoned them straight away and they were able to correct it. It was far easier than I expected, I was braced for a series of “computer says no” conversations.

392ci is 6.4 litres, Shirley.

Which just makes the bhp/litre even worse

It’s Friday, I don’t have much to do this afternoon, and the weather is nice at last. I might pop out to Aldi and see what they’ve got

Then come back on here about 6pm and do a drunken brocco-style rant

The mileage discrepancy seems to just be one MOT with no mileage recorded. All the others are consistent.

Temperature & pressure will go hand in hand to an extent. Assuming the coolant is water-based (?) it’ll stay liquid to quite high temperature as long as the pressure is kept high too. I was initially assuming the temperature would be similar to an engine but that’s not necessarily true. We’re no...

Calculated that driving to my dad's instead of flying saves about £3-500 and a tonne of CO2 compared to flying. How far is that, and is that based on several people? I did some rough calcs and it seemed that flying would be more CO2 efficient for travelling alone for Italy. IIRC Copenhagen, and it’...

Here’s an interesting theory: Back in the Osbournes' MTV heyday, Sharon claimed that she and Ozzy stopped doing drugs after Nicole Simpson was murdered because OJ and Nicole were their dealers. According to her, the couple had carved out a nice little niche for themselves as suppliers of gak to the ...

That would obviously work for a craft bakery too.

Hmmm…. I could perhaps undercut GG here….

That’s you that is.

If it’s particularly about dangerous beers, I have to recommend that 10% trucker lager that Lidl had recently.

Beany needs to do an update !

Oh. Fair enough.
