    A very tight junction and too much speed.

    right let me get this straight - DM had to react quickly to a road layout he was not expecting and he avoided having a crash. The fog OP guy had to react quickly to a road layout he was not expecting and he also avoided having a crash. For DM to keep harping on about how he was driving at the...

    Welsh language protest at 'lack of response' by government

    what goes around comes around. The authorities in Whitehall spent a great deal of effort in the late 19 th century trying to stamp out Welsh. It's about having a cultural reference and a sense of history; it would be a bit hard trying to appreciate some of the ancient Welsh poets if no one...

    Kwik Fit and their tricks ....

    Went to local kwik fit to have tracking done and new tyre fitted. I, and two other customers, waited nearly 10 minutes before someone came to office. Very casual and pretty unprofessional, however they did fit new tyre, but they couldn't do tracking on my 124, suggested I go to the next nearest...

    I like Merc's but !!!!

    the cheapest merc is one that someone on an Internet forum bought for a "few hundred quid and has only had to replace a lightbulb"....for many of us, old mercs are not cheap to maintain if you do it properly. I've spent far more than my car is worth keeping it in good shape because the appeal of...

    Olympic lunacy

    No one asked me as a Londoner or as a tax payer whether I was in favour of bidding for the Olympic Games. Who exactly made the decision and what was their mandate and public accountability? Exactly why are we having the Olympics in London, other than some notion of "national pride" and lining...

    Critical of Teachers.

    Youg Skier Dies in Val D'isere

    Shonky reporting in my view. Note the "amid reports of skiers" quote in the first paragraph....reports by whom? the police or journalists? Who says this skier even had an iphone? Who says if this skier did have an iphone that he was using that app? Also note "French police said it was unclear...

    My new mount as of last Saturday....

    After picking my kids up from school today I was cycling back home. One kid was on a scooter, the other jogging alongside (a la Rocky). When we got to a crossing, I said "Stop", which they dutifully did. Sadly I had a bit of a communication problem between my own brain and my legs....I couldn't...
