also when you start the car the favourites target comes up instead of just going to the map.
After you start the navigation to the final destination, try pressing the search button again, typing in your stop-over post code and select. On my VW nav you then get a pop up asking if you want to add as stop-over or go direct to new destination.

Last night my bicycle ran out of grip going around a roundabout and dumped me on the road.

We're getting quotes for having our ancient gravity-fed central heating & hot water boiler replaced and the options are doing us a hecking bamboozle ... part of me thinks that we may as well just stockpile some essential spares for the existing 20+ year old boiler while we can still get them and keep it going.

If considering a heat pump, check out Octopus energy who have invented a heat pump that is meant to be a straight replacement and cost competitive.
