    I did the right thing and now have a medically limited licence!

    My wife had to renew her licence 18 months ago ( at 70 years of age ), and advised that she had suffered a stroke in 2008, and only drove automatics and very short distances. That opened a whole can of worms , resulting in being referred for a medical and questionnaire, paid for by DVLA . As a...

    What's Your Current Earworm?

    I was bought ‘Tobacco Road ‘ for Xmas 1964. Don’t know why as it wasn’t one that I would have chosen . Maybe it appealed to my dear old mum , at that time she worked in the cigar factory in Bristol.

    What's Everyone Watching on TV

    A recurring theme was for each individual to be told to plead guilty because “they ‘’ were the only one claiming the system was at fault . And all the time Horizon were accessing and altering online ledgers. You just couldn’t make it up.

    What's Your Current Earworm?

    I get various tunes , some I love but others that I hate ( steeleye span and ‘’all around my #*+$¥€! hat’’ ). Recently it was ‘’only one woman’’, by the Marbles , to the extent that I ordered a copy from eBay and played it numerous times . Various 60s /70s tunes randomly enter the hollow space...

    What is your favourite decade, and why?

    Has to be the 60s for me. Enough money from my paper rounds to pay for beer and cigarettes, part time work at two petrol stations owned by the former rally driver Tiny Lewis , which paid for my tatty Lambretta and clothes, records etc. Loved the music ( still buy 60s music) and the ‘feel’ of the...

    The EV fact thread

    Half the country does have below average intelligence, the other half has above average intelligence (broadly speaking and notwithstanding the amount that have exactly average) . But as to EVs , I don’t want one , have a declining requirement to own any motor vehicle, and being in my 72nd year...

    What's Everyone Watching on TV

    Mr Zahawi did not have any earnings , he asked for his fee to be donated to charity , so fair play to him for that. I find it inexcusable albeit not surprising that neither Sunak or Starmer have the b*lls to demand return of the CBE , and my understanding is that the fund so far offered for...

    What's Everyone Watching on TV

    The only issue I have with the programme is that ITV seem to have glossed over the fact that a certain Adam Crozier was CEO of the PO from 2003-2010 , a period that was instrumental in a lot of the issues . Hmmmmm , wouldn’t this be the same Adam Crozier that left the Post Office to become CEO...

Runway reopened about 11.00am . Got taxi to the airport and arrived around 14.30 , in plenty of time...

    The UK Politics & Brexit Thread

    Thank you . My wife recently had a scan and is currently clear of cancer ( following drastic surgery december 21 ) , and our granddaughter had a favourable result from her most recent scan . This was a relief as the previous scan showed a "light" area where the brain tumour was removed , which...
