For me the most surpring thing in thete is that you couldn't buy Mini Eggs. Around these parts, literally every shop has them and have had them since early January.
It's true, we gave up searching for mini eggs yesterday after trying 3 supermarkets...

My wife has a new VW E-Up from work. She complained that the seat back was at the wrong angle for her and that although it was adjustable she was unable to grip the adjustment device. I went and had a look, at the side of the seat there was a smooth round boss, obviously concealing a pivot. So I looked that the sides of the seats nearest the middle of the car, the adjustment levers were clearly visible.
Sounds like the seats were installed the wrong way around. Classic from the factory?
No, that's just where they are on the VW Up!

Weird. Never seen an adjuster on the inboard side.

I like that.

Mine picked up the wrong coat, a cold evening so delighted (and surprised) to find some gloves in the pocket too,

You should have told her to stay Stihl!

I think there is a mode in the Terrain Response system for running over lawn mowers, suspension set to high, second gear, low range, supposed to be very effective.

But what about the FFRR - is it a write-off ?

It's been trimmed a bit so it is now only a half FFRR.

Those bits that fell off the RR were going to fall off anyway, cos LR.

Did she not hear the beeping noises that the car makes when manoeuvring?

Wife is studying with her laptop. She asks me where her phone is. I say not sure what do you need. She says I need to Google a word.
