Had a health check done on my car by MB Romford when they fitted the new cats, which they've just sent me. They said the rear brake pads were beginning to get low but noted the minimum wear sensor was not yet activated. 4,000 miles later the minimum wear sensor is still not activated. How long...

Bus stop bench faces 'wrong way' Residents who waited more than a year for a bench next to a bus stop found one placed facing away from the road. The park bench was placed in such a way following fears that some elderly people could fall into Leek Road, in Stoke-on-Trent, the city council...
