Gosh. More memories! Mrs S moved to Newcastle-u-Lyme when she was 10 and when I met her, her folks still lived there. Have visited there and also Staffs was part of my patch when I was working PAYE. I think the M6 is my most travelled motorway. And the most travelled bit between J19 and J10...

Kwik Fit changed the rear tyres recently and put a massive crack in the OSR wheel trim trying to yank it off. Still waiting for them to say a new one is in stock ready to be fitted...

I hope you weren't staying in the Laveltrodge next to the nightclub....noisy as heck...!

Why are we waiting? Why are we waiting? Why are we ...

Yes! I found it very difficult at first. But after smashing my left ankle and being bedridden for so long, I lost 4 stone and now it is so much easier! Yes, in our case, this was the reason. We regularly take Mrs S's parents out on trips and it's a pain having no light at all. Japanese...
