it gets worse when the sproglets get sent to school as the parents cant / wont look after them which in turn sends their diseases around the school reinfecting all and sundry who come into contact with said sproglets and friends.

Oh the joy of being a human in the 21st century

Looking out of the window this morning after the storm to see that a 15m section of our back fence is leaning and only held upright by adjacent uprights. Two uprights uprooted.

Starting to give the Street a once over, starts with one thing then finding something else which I have to take half the bike apart to reach.


Better catching it now than when it gets any worse I suppose.

Pavement Parker's. Tried taking out my twin grandkids in their twin buggy. Lost count of the number of times I had to pass parked cars in the road.

The overuse of the word 'Vintage' in Ebay descriptions, in the hope that its going to attract more money. Its old junk, not vintage!

Its up there with the word "Rare". Or if you own a VW Camper then adding Westfalia to anything doubles the price.
