Yup, me too. It's now so common that when I see it spelt properly it looks odd!

The biggest council part in the article is dumping your car outside some bodies house for two weeks while on holiday. I know you don't own the road outside your house and they are entitle to park their, but it is a tttish thing to do.
Edited to add: I agree with the sentiment, though.

If you are selling your old steering wheel don't put it in writing anywhere that you are including the airbag, 2nd hand airbags are illegal to sell. I got a wrap on the knuckles for including one with a merc steering wheel!

From another site but too good (bizarre, frankly) to miss:

Anyone suffering problems with Siri use via steering wheel button since iOS11?
My'n has completely changed from perfectly reliable ... to sometimes works, sometimes just silence. The phone shows a 'car mode' symbol, despite being deactivated (or set to 'manual' in settings).

Well, if we're going for quotes from other sites, here's a gem from the Law Society Gazette:

"Being a lawyer is very much a 'pastural role', Burgon [Shadow Justice Secretary] said, pointing out that lawyers see clients at perhaps the most traumatic time of their lives, such as divorce, a custody battle or who has suffered domestic violence. 'We cannot stand by while lawyers get criticised while they're doing this demanding work that helps to keep society together.'

Such a cheesey sentiment... getmecoat

I drive that part of the M1 twice a day.

You have smaller single sign ganteries that advice a new limit then the main ganteries covering all lanes that show the enforced limit.

You really can't miss the main ganteries, they are numerous and highly visible if they are displaying information...................

That part of the M1 I stick the cruise control on indicating 75 when the ganteries aren't lite up like Christmas trees, never had an issue.

Ummm, to be fair, trolling is a form of fishing (if that is the mistake in Mr T's sentence).

Well, he'd be better off trawling - trolling strikes me as a bloody slow way of catching anything.
