We used to spend time in France most years, when I was a kid. One of the first things my mum taught us was "je suis ecossaise" but only ever after trying to ask for un glace or whatever. Given the anti foreigner policies we have had for the last umpteen years, I cannot imagine we are all t...

re larger capacity, the TD is an 8, the new wm is a 7 or 8, the old one was a 5kg so an extra 40% odd will be fine. It needed new suspension, new seal, new bushes and a new module, plus fitting for al that stuff so was getting on for £500 for a machine that cost us less than that 20 years ago. I mig...

Going with another Miele as the last one did us proud

Yup, our run of fantastic luck continues with the demise of our lovely washing machine. Think it was bought in early 2003 and lasted right through the kids being babies so cannot really grumble, beyond the fact that in the last month we have had so much expense of course.

Yup, a business that would replace you in a heartbeat if you dropped deid!

Bar Soba, off George Street is lovely, probably not "fine" dining but blooming tasty. We also ate at the Thai place in St James Shopping Centre and it was amazingly good, although wear a jumper as it was chilly.

I suspect ST may be a Ford trademark now. Hence the S/T. Maybe, but then RS :? everyone uses RS - Audi, Jaguar, ford, Porsche, Renault, etc... ST isn't exclusively Ford either - pretty sure Peugeot used it? I remember XT back in late 80s early 90s, ST does ring a bell but I cannot plcae it with spe...

She is fine, she messaged yesterday to say "don't believe the media, it is awesome, just sweaty". Sounds like the heat wave has caused problems you just cannot solve under crowded campsite conditions. We got am email from Scouting UK explaining their reasons (safety) and asking us not to s...

Well my new flat data cable and right angle adapter have allowed Android Auto to work, which has also stopped me from skipping tracks when indicating or going round a corner, which is nice. Hi Gavin - have you got a link to the cable that you bought? In other news - I decided it was high time I had...

Well my new flat data cable and right angle adapter have allowed Android Auto to work, which has also stopped me from skipping tracks when indicating or going round a corner, which is nice. Been a couple of trips now of a decent length and easily averaging over 45mpg when travelling with the pace of...

I looked for a V90 or V60 this time round with a decent engine and decent miles but most seemed to be D3s around the £20k mark and very few petrol ones at all. A real shame, have had a fair few hatches, saloons and estates over the years and really loved them.

Have RB not said they like Lando before?

I saw my first Emira in the wild last week in Berwick. In the same blue as the previous page. No idea what engine it had but it looked amazing.

Congratulation, she is a gorgeous wee toot!

Picked up the Superb on Thursday, drove it home. Android play does not appear to work too well with Samsung phones but bluetooth is grand so not worrying about it right now. What year is it Gavin? We have to plug in to use Android Auto. But the logical place to put the phone (cubby under the heater...

Picked up the Superb on Thursday, drove it home. Android play does not appear to work too well with Samsung phones but bluetooth is grand so not worrying about it right now. Took my wife away for a night on Lindisfarne to just unwind after the last fortnight or so and got rear-ended on the way home ...

I did wonder if I spotted you at the weekend @scotta as I saw a blue X5 with reg plate:

P15 TOV?

It is a Superb, it is petrol, sadly no 280s (or 279) were available.

Business grey Sportline 220 hatch.
