Mate is completely unexceptable, I'm sure he'll be fine with plenty of other customers, if I could, I'd find a way to avoid talking to him.

I don't live too far away from that car & i think the owner must live there as i see it all the time. I haven't seen a green one there though only a white one i think so maybe that was a curtesy car!?

Over 2000 revs it sounds like a trackter. I've gave it an oil change to see if that made a difference, witch it did until the other day and its doing it again. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I'm being told its bottom end. Any advice I can do or isit gone

Unlike the group of what looked like three families obviously just arrived at a local holiday park doing their shop. Literally 6 adults and the same in kids barging up and down the ailses, no masks, no distancing, no nothing.

Makes a change from "isles" .

Only thing wrong with that AFAICS is "tarmac" which of course should be "bitmac"

Well, Frank knows a thing or two about taxis, and he nominated it, so I reckon it stays.

Although the itching has stopped (most of it at least) the colour hasn't changed at all, I am still red roar down there which isn't normal.

Suffering badly with this atm. I’ve noticed mine flares up if I eat anything sugary, even having a few cups of tee with 2 sugars in and it’ll be back.

Hear me roar and i'll be back in time for tee.

Thanks Paul, as far as I’ve always understood, if you were on a plane which had pushed back from the loading ramp, and was on its way to the runway for take off, you were taxiing, likewise a plane under its own steam, after landing, heading for the arrivals ramp.
When I was confronted with the fact that taxying was an accepted alternative, my first thought was, “SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!”
If it’s an acceptable alternative, so be it, I’ll accept it, but I’ll never use that spelling.

Credit for spelling "hypocrisy" correctly though, that's something of a rarity.
