So in reality probably not going to add much value in it's self, but I want to block pave the whole drive (space for 3 cars), knock back some of the wall to make a larger opening and it would stupid to not drop the kerb at this point, hopefully find a grounds work contractor who can do the lot.

Not really no. An electric pump is limited in it's output power by it's own internal electrical resistance. A mech pump driven from an engine is effectively almost completely unlimited! (as far as fuel pressure is concerned). IE before it stalls the engine, or breaks it's drive shaft/belt, it can probably generate several hundred bar of pressure, hence the need for care!

The camera is tricky to see, but there's a big giveaway in that picture that there are camera's on that stretch of motorway.

Thank God for sat navs and Road Angels etc. that flag these things up for you.

If I slowed down for every "Camera's" sign on the M25 I'd get RSI in my braking foot.

No but my girlfriends mum has lived in the same small town for ever

When she was about 15 the fairground came to town for two weeks in the summer

A guy from the fairground managed to knock up a whole bunch of teens and of course was long gone before they all knew about it. All the babies came at the same time so there are a load of people still knocking about from this visit fourty or so years ago

Wonder how many more he has

As has been many times before the problem for the Conservatives is not UKIP, but their very own policy's and the fact that people do not trust Cameron.

Officially, "comprises" means " is made up of" or "consists of", so the "of" is redundant.

I'm glad someone else dislikes this ... I think uneducated estate agents are the worst offenders
