That could quite easily be a Mondeo, and with a 15 number plate not even the latest model.

Focus Towny, and it is a 15 plate. Well spotted. But with 7000 on the clock and £8000 below the new price I'm not complaining

Well done Merv, I am told they handle remarkably well, but the sophisticated rear suspension means the boot won't take a set of golf clubs.
Personally I prefer the look of the Astra but never driven either.

Does drive nicely John, but it had to after the Jaguar or it wouldn't have got a look in! It's an estate and I don't play golf so no problems there!

Don't be silly Stephen!

We did have to let the second footman go to pay for the car

Sorry to hear that Merv. Hope you find a good chiropodist soon.

Does a footman help you with the brake and accelerator?

The new one's an automatic so we got rid of the one who did the clutch

You won't regret it Merv, once you can anchor your left foot to the floor and stop reaching for the gear shift with your left hand,

until then it could be a bit jerky.

I can fully understand the more elderly of us going over to automatic

So how long have you had yours?

Can't afford such luxuries.

I spent my winter fuel allowance on mine and banked what I saved on bus fares with my pass. Soon mounts up.

along with the money you save on tooth paste

There is a cost to fix-a-dent you know! Though seriously my bionic tooth cost as much as I got in part ex for the old car!

Now that is posh - built-in barbeque ?!

Who else had a little drop of rain last night. I say little, it absolutely persistently fell down with the accompaniment of thunder and lightning. It was a good test for our new ground drainage though which worked a treat. No more part flooding

Persisting down here too. Hope there's an Ark handy for Cubie's bunnies

Just a nice gentle rain here in Middle England - just enough to water in the 300-odd plants I put out at the weekend!

Found another possible bunny route through the fencing so blocked that up. Mind you, if they get in there's plenty for them to eat now !

I'm surprised you couldn't hear them laughing as you were planting.

After a day's respite, they are back and at it - completely devastated about 80 flowering plants I put out on Saturday. Chomped to the ground

Just admit defeat.
