My sons doing DoE. My wife asks, "who is the Duke of Edinburgh, not Andrew, I hope?" I said "no, he was the Dick of York." My son responded, "he had his dick taken away and he's just Andrew now. My wife said, "probably for the best"

Very expensive per hour to run though . . .

Smaller schools lack the staff and have no caretaker to grit the site and make it safe. Bigger schools with a caretaker tend to stay open, even if just for key workers & SEN kids. Teachers also can live far away in areas of high housing costs so cannot get in. Not many teachers can afford to...

If there is no signal down there, you need a hard wire to the charger and/or have our car up top on a lead.

Home charger, a Zappi. The car actually refused the charge. It was an early model and a software issue.

Our MG4 would never charge below freezing until it got the software update and since then its been fine.

January 1987, 30" of powder snow and minus 10. All the trains broke down due to the wrong kind of snow getting into the traction motors. The doors also froze over so you couldn't get on either! February 1991 we had 4 feet of snow, again powder snow and minus 15-20 for a week. My office was used...

On a cold morning, especially with very frosted or Snow covered windows, the pre-heat doesn't respond. The car in general doesn't respond.

A high speed drive will often throw a stone out.

Needs hard wiring then

Happened on my MG5. The external handle hadn't fully gone back in place and once pushed in the internal handle was fine.

Hopefully he knows that Greenland was named that to confuse the Americas as it is actually "Ice" land and a White Land, whereas Iceland is actually a Green Land.

Don't tell Donald that flags are wind powered or he'll ban them!

I have no plans in doing so, doesn't seem fair but a thing to look out for if there' a surprise at the top!

And if I like hundreds of posts all over the forum in dark corners?

Ok, I did a few likes on this thread to those ahead of me and got 4.5 points. Is that cheating?

If so, I need to like a few hundred posts from low rankers then?

It does, 100% my car now and no more monthly payments even though I was on a 0% deal.

Oi I am at work! I am allowed breaks.

I must have got a real deal with mine. Paid the final payment on my MG5 today If I take the final payment and deduct the over mileage payments, additions I've added & damage charges, it's worth more than the lump sum.

My MG5 is now 100% all mine. I chose to ignore all the texts, emails and letters 👹. Today the final payment came out as a DD. It's all mine, no more monthly payments.

Pre-select was great! Move gear level to 1st gear (bus stays in neutral). Push down select pedal and as you lift it, the bus goes into gear, remembering of course to add some power! To change gear, move lever to next gear and when you wanted to change gear, push down pedal and as you lifted...

Luckily, I manage issues from home / office now, but this one is eye watering sums and will take a while to fix.
