My Dad's choice of ciggy was Capstan Full Strength .... unbelievably, he's still here (though hasn't now smoked anything for some years)

and likewise, I used to go to the corner shop for them for him ....

I don't really understand why they're doing this. Couldn't they just read the chip that was implanted during Covid?

Driven it back along with the "tin tent" had three weeks away in Yorkshire the new caravan is superb a real " home from home" out of all the vehicles I've towed with nothing compares to the Range Rover, simply effortless..

A true pikey palace should be towed behind a clapped out transit with a stripe down the side, and tarmac gear in the back

A heavy SUV with a thumping great diesel with bags of torque is an ideal tow car, and bigger Landrovers and Range Rovers do excel at that better than most .  You must have had the Rangie for a while now?

Which is why I'm holding onto my ML350 with its 620Nm of torque while I can

....
I’m guessing that my fused power line was to power my caravan live connection for my tow socket, as I didn’t want to cut into the fuse box connection.

That's what I was doing too

it's been a while ..... but I passed a cable through the bulkhead of my Omega at the bottom of where the cabin filter lives .... (I assume left hand drive & right hand drive are just opposite each other  ). There was a factory connector & I passed the cable through near it .... underneath IIRC

Its being said that Starmer is going to announce compulsory ID cards for all over 18,s. 
I think that will be his poll tax. It will finish him.

It looks like Andy Burnham is looking to step into his shoes ....

If they're going to be digital, how will that work for people without the relevant tech?

The practicalities of the scheme will be subject to a consultation, which will also look at how to make it work for those without a smartphone or passport.
  ie They haven't a clue.

without getting into politics, The Reform Party makes a good point ....

Reform UK has denounced the plan as a "cynical ploy to fool voters that something is being done about illegal immigration".

"It's laughable that those already breaking immigration law will suddenly comply, or that digital IDs will have any impact on illegal work," the party added.

"All it will do is impinge further on the freedoms of law-abiding Brits."

just ordered an expansion tank cap for my ML. It told me the level was low last week & it took a pint of water to fill it. There was a blue coolant trace above the 'O' ring in the old cap so I've gone for the cheapest/easiest fix first!
It's the first time in the 6 years I've owned the car that it's needed a top up!
