I could swap to Sunday, but have plans Monday... would prefer a drier day tbh as my rear screen is a bit... flappy! Not great if parked up and it chucks it down.
My rear screen is excellent! However I've yet to adjust my driver's side window so it doesn't quite close all the way to the top... Not great if parked up and it chucks it down. hehe

Sunday is good for me though, hopefully it works for the others!

Sunday is rain as well isn't it - my wipers are in a poor state (one of those tasks I should have done).

I really want to get those Leven ones rather than a cheapie set from Halfrauds.....

I don't fancy rain to be honest....

I was going off the BBC weather for Banbury area-

Saturday:- Light rain showers from 9am Sat morning right through until 5am Sunday morning.

Sunday:- Mixture of light cloud and sunny spells all day, but no rain.

Edit: BBC now saying cloudy but no rain until 5pm tomorrow! I guess the best thing could be to wait and see what it's like in the morning and make a decision then?

What's the verdict then chaps?

Looking dry this morning with showers possible from 1pm onwards, with tomorrow now looking the same.

I'm not too bothered about showers, it just depends on their definition!

Anyone else got a differing forecast?

Had a couple of showers here - however, I need to go to car dealership today......

....we bought a brand new Skoda VRS Estate (awesome car!) a couple of months ago and when the Mrs went out early this morning to the farm she found all the windows open and the car locked! Dealer reckons the button may have been pressed too long when it was locked last night.....

....trouble is, we have the Kessy system, so never use the buttons!

Need to sort that out when she gets back from the farm, so I will probably be unable to make it.

I am free Monday though and that pub looks very nice smile

Nosh.

Yeah that's cool with me, the bit of potentially heavy rain isn't forecast until 3pm and I'd probably need to head back by 3.30 latest anyway!

Let's give it a go!

No worries Phil, I may well be about Monday as well as I'm popping up to my cousin's and he's only 10mins away from the pub, not to mention it's looking good weather for a drive out anyway.
