So what have you done today..?

  1. It will. The government need to generate money. They’re pushing everyone into electric, so once they’ve done that, they’ll need to get that lost revenue from fuel duty from somewhere, so you can guarantee there’ll be a shake up re electricity costs/ road tax/ or some other new tax they’ll come up with to make sure they don’t lose out. I have no doubt. Make the most of it while it’s in your favour, because there will be a shake up.
     
  2. A grip on the real world
    That was my thought also!
     
  3. Whilst tidying up my wardrobe this morning I came across a box which contained an unused pair of Hein Gericke summer riding gloves which I had forgotten about along with one or two other useful bike items.My next foraging session is going to be in the loft where no doubt there will be other stuff I have long forgotten about.I am looking forward to wearing my new riding gloves.

    @s1imster
    If it wasn't for him investigating further after being admitted to A&E for a gall bladder infection I wouldn't be here today.
    He sent me for more tests to rule out bowel cancer with colonoscopy and endoscopy
    He is the reason I was referred to haematology and my myeloma found.
    I too am grateful to him
    I couidnt fault the care I received from this man

  15. Without more information it’s impossible to comment
    All you’ve said is that he had a strong accent
    Not much to go on there?

    Do you ever keep your thoughts in your head?

  17. Just do what I do and only buy bikes and never sell any, saves all the hassle.

  20. Mates cancelled the game this morning, which means my game is cancelled too (hate not being independent!) as it was a bit cold….so worked instead. Just had delicious homemade sausage and chorizo roll and had to give in and put heating on as shivering!
