Sun, Sea and
Sun, Sea and I'm too old to remember what the other was, Brazzer RN 1 will know!! You all enjoy yourself I'll like after the shop!! My old dad use to use his hanky as a sun hat - tie a knot at each corner and off you go..... I can remember as a kid having a knitted looking/feeling swimming trunks, ok till they go wet, and when you came out of the water the crotch was full of wet sand and round your knees.... My mother used to put Baby Oil (steady it's my mother) on as sun tanning oil - it was all the rage! Then when we were all red as beetroot we were covered in Calamine lotion that turned into a white powder.... Happy Days

Agree JRA I remember when diesel was what we should all have and diesel was always cheap than petrol . Now we all have to love electric, where are all the old batteries going when they are knackered but by than we will have a new brunch of idiots cocking things up because they are all the same in it for themsevles if it was us running thinks like they do we'd be in clink. Years ago we had statemen running the country for the good of the country all we have now are career politicans, think I'm right in saying that Camron, Clegg and Miliband had never done anything (and there's more) else. The end deal is its our money the use they don't pay for anything.

JRA your post sums up the way we are treated by our lords and masters, they seem to forget that they work for us (or should) instead it seems they can get away with any thing with no real recall and after 5, 10 or so years walk awalk without a care.

Lets have a laugh

The Old Cherokee
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. โA fight is going on inside me,โ he said to the boy. โIt is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil โ he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.โ He continued, โThe other is good โ he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you โ and inside every other person, too.โ The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, โWhich wolf will win?โ The old Cherokee simply replied, โThe one you feed.โ

Remember................ trips away and collecting those little flags that you stuck on the back windows to show where you had been ..... the waving hand (and nodding dog) that you had at the back window...... anyone have the traffic lights hanging in the back window - went red when you braked, amber when you had your foot off the brake but not moving and of course green when the accelerator......cost me ยฃ1.10/- to have wired in (ยฃ1.50p for you younger members!!) 6ft flexible aerials.....

Fuel Prices
See the fuel prices are on the up again, same every year at hoilday time the prices always go up. Many years ago I managered a service station (Chevron Oil Co) !!! and the prices were always increased at those times because people are normally going out and about more. Remember - Texaco, Regent, Total, anymore??????

Air Con repair
Took my CRV for a re gas to be told it needed the conpresser replaced at a cost of around ยฃ270 fitted, to be honest it's the first car I've had with air con, it's always beed open the windows in the past. Do you think that a fair price, and is it really worth worrying about I don't do loads of miles now...any views on air con please
