I would just like to say

I've never really thought about this before, but I am now wondering if the original owner, (and we are third owners) took it off to somehow use the letter on it indicating its Anniversary status. Or sold it just for that.
Its surprising how many peeps put a private reg on a new car. Even a lease car. Unless the reg just happened to be a good one, eye would assume they originally put their own on, which they transferred to the next car.

The old Volvo never missed a beat, 200 miles in and she was showing 50 mpg 🙂

My remark was only meant as a joke, sorry you took it so seriously.
But since you did...
I'm only hoovering cos my W is coming out of hospital in no state to do it herself.
But that isn't the point.

You told me to stop moaning at getting up at an early hour.
When I was working I got up early, sometimes so early that I got to work before the caretakers and they arrived at 0700.
I had enough of working 60 hour weeks when I retired and would not dream of going back to any form of it. Normally now I don't arise until 0800.

I kinda understood some of what you say you are doing at work and I am happy for you.

Gaffer? wife or real boss?

As for the line about the drawers..... no idea what you are on about, mate!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

I would also state that I retired with about 4 car projects to work on. Have yet to touch one, in the 10 years I have been not working. My "Gaffer" insists I finish all the DIY stuff in both houses. Find it incredibly boring so CBA to get out of bed and do it. So I am my own worst enemy! 🤣 🤣
No no, taken as intended, I sounded grumpier than I meant.
Gaffer in this case being the company owner, he's always 'very busy', really needs to delegate and get organised imo. Will nail him down for a rise soon, the beloved currently earns more than i do.

And finally, drawers, in furniture, like whats you put your sockses int.
Rock an Roll baby!

Aha, so you are edge-banding the drawers!
Got it now. :rolleyes:
just had to put the innards of one post with the other.
TBH it does sound like something someone might do when putting lace trim round the edges of fancy knickers, but the less said about that the better!🤣🤣🤣

My W earned more than me most of her working life, typical of someone not working in the public sector. But she had to commute a long way to get the dosh.
Sounds like quite a clever machine, and much better than the iron-on poop they give you to stick on the edges of stuff when you are cutting worktops or making up the interior of a walk in wardrobe, plus having to fight to get the iron out of W's grip!
 
Morning All. :D
Still here, still smiling (sort of). It's probably my imagination but now that I am 70 I seem to hurt more in more places. :(
Have a great day. :D
I'll be joining you as a septuagenarian tomorrow.
Still sticks in my throat how little I have achieved over the ten years since retirement.
My own fault as I am a king of procrastination and getting up late. But I do cut my own nose off to spite my face.
Have a great day yourself nonetheless.:):):)
