Have they sent you one that sits on your phone, that you have to download from their site?

I’ve driven a few a few posh cars in my time, directors cars, rental cars where they ran out of ordinary cars etc. They’re all a bit of a yawn after a couple of days. Except the early eighties Dodge Charger.

I’d be about Β£70k better off if I hadn’t changed cars so often. Ordinary cars as well.

I fear we may invoke Arthur Askey if we’re not careful.

I give you Harrogate flower show, part two, held at Temple Newsam. During a biblical rain storm, where everyone hid in the marquees, thanks to all catering being naively left uncovered. It was very dahlia centric. We’ll get some of the 12” pom-poms in the new year though.

'Experts' claiming asbestosis is real. It's just a cough, glass of toilet duck will sort it out.

It is false witness, for mobility scooters are the velocipedes of Satan.*

They make them in Pontefract so he was merely supporting local produce. (Which is always healthier). He should have stuck to the gummy bears, with their high sorbitol content. Causes the opposite effect, as binge eating infants and Perry drinkers can confirm.

Our Don is a bit closer to Sheffield… Spent a couple of days there plein air painting, with the art club, a few weeks ago.
