DPD - Came to my house yesterday, even took a picture of the outside. Then instead of delivering to my neighbour drove off with my sodding oil cooler hoses! So I got to ride to roulette of death again this morning with oil over the left side of my rear tyre. Joy.


Still what's the worst that could possibly happen....

Great start to the family holiday!
If you start getting any strange symptoms Lyme disease (tick borne) is getting more widespread in UK but doctors still don't diagnose it very well at all.....

Bollards appearing across Newport Pl in London - despite signs still pointing that way for parking, and it still being a one-way street. Hmm which rule to break?
