Some of ours do. But not all. I think I've done them all now, but as usual I've no doubt I'll find one I missed in a few weeks

Re: The Children's Off Topic Thread
I was once awake come 2am and it was interesting to see my digital bedside radio change from 1.59 to 3am - that was when the clocks were going forward of course. I must admit it was partly curiosity. I woke about 1.45am and thought, I wonder what happens when it gets to 2am - well now I know!

Re: The Children's Off Topic Thread
A lovely thought Merv, but, in the end I opted for a Mazda CX3 Sport Nav.
I need major therapy, a nurse and the screens, but in the end opted for a brandy.
I do like a deal, and managed to get a full set of plush floor mats, full tank of petrol and a free first service out of them. You don't ask you don't get is my motto.
Very impressed with the customer service from the young lady and her colleague.

Did you buy new or previously owned Stephen? If new I would have expected they would have knocked at least 10% off the OTR price, maybe more in the current climate.Stephen wrote: 30 Oct 2017, 18:43A lovely thought Merv, but, in the end I opted for a Mazda CX3 Sport Nav.

One of their pre registered demonstrators John. Only 835 miles on the clock and saved around three and a half grand compared to buying new. Could have brought new but you lose so much value just driving off the forecourt.

Wise decision Stephen, if the car you bought has everything you wanted, and is a colour you can live with.Stephen wrote: 31 Oct 2017, 12:28towny44 wrote: 31 Oct 2017, 08:57Did you buy new or previously owned Stephen?
