I drove 2500 miles through France and Northern Italy over 3 week with a 9 month old in the back in a Vauxhall Zafira.

one of the best holidays ever - I can't explain it either

Korean, subtitles. Simple love story. But not.

Some beautifully awkward scenes, dripping in warmth and stifled emotion.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. 8.5 12-year gaps out of 10 for me.

I saw a trailer for that and it looked good - will check it out

A big Citroen is always my first thought when someone wants a mile muncher..

But I can see his point I drove a Passat Estate in black for a year and that was a Hearse

A large Volvo would therefore be my second choice in terms of comfort - S80 maybe or even an S90 if his budget stretches ??

Obvious Choice...

I've just submitted another round of BP numbers as part of my ongoing treatment. While not the perfect (High reading 128/89, Low 120/80, average 124/83), I'm not going to change dosage of Ramapril for now and just keep loosing weight, cutting way back on the beers and the processes meat (I do love a...

Just binged The Last of Us Really enjoyed it. I never played the game or watched the likes of The Walking Dead so I had no baggage while watching it. The performances were great, particularly Bella Ramsey and as mentioned, the episode with Bill and Frank was excellent Looking forward to the second s...

Mine was about 7.5 but with statins - and to be fair, a lot of diet changes, it’s down to 3.3 with both readings well in the good range.

My sister had a 1.2 for a good while - bought it with 40k km’s and it never put a foot wrong.

Mum now has one - again, bought with about 40k km’s and it’s going well so far.
