Bin to that there Lunnen today for the Visas.
Pleased to say all went well and we got asked a lot fewer questions and to provide less "stuff" than i thought we would.
Even Wifey's fingerprints, nearly invisible, passed muster although I did have to lean on her fingers when the scanning was going on!!
So off out for dins soon!
Was funny watching a pair of right nobs, Brits like us (except we ain't nobs) with a house they've owned "in the Alps for 22 years" feckin it up cos they can't read the info. Silly beggars were too tight to get recent photos done. The bloke looked far older and so did she, the guy behind the counter weren't fooled, and they'd made other mistakes and "we have to be off by the 4th of March".
They got to a counter well before us and we left while they were still fecking around at a photo booth.
TBH they were all extremely helpful and cos W was in a wheelchair they even moved us to the head of the last queue.
We "only" had to wait 3/4 of an hour for the main interview and for the other 2 no time at all.
So, tomoz the Breast Clinic, and if that goes OK we will be breaking out the champagne.
Have a nice evening folks!!!

Forgot to mention, on the way back, on the M27, where there have been road works for AGES while they were modifying it into a "smart" motorway.
They have now done it, but all along that bit is now a 60mph limit!!!!!!!
So it is like driving through road works all over again.
The 60 mph signs are on a gantry and lit up, but we went through them at about 3 p.m. and they were on.
So, do they ever let it run at 70 mph? Or has the adverse publicity, quite rightly, made em scared to run at 70 mph?
I did say to Wifey, "Suppose you break down a few yards past a refuge going uphill, how are you supposed to make it to the next refuge?"
You can't roll back down what is now the "slow" lane. You can't roll forward the 1/2 mile. So I suppose you just put the hazards on and run?
Even peeps like her who don't do running, they barely walk!
How can anyone, never mind a committee of supposedly learned engineers come up with such a stupid fecking idea.
What can they do, make the uphill bits 20 mph?
I must get my MP to ask a question in the house. Oops, that won't work Chris Chope is a complete Dick head.

Roll backwards iffits just a few yards. There's lots of automated camera's watching the lane. So it should be closed wiv x's quickly when it see's yer vikkul.Forgot to mention, on the way back, on the M27, where there have been road works for AGES while they were modifying it into a "smart" motorway.

If everybody drove a fender they wouldn't need a speed limit
I followed a new one on the way home from work. I managed to keep up with him, perhaps it was brokenIf everybody drove a fender they wouldn't need a speed limit

Does it make the drivers any smarter? That's the problem on our roadways.Forgot to mention, on the way back, on the M27, where there have been road works for AGES while they were modifying it into a "smart" motorway.

Its a mental stupid idea how long before there's a breakdown then a pile up.
It has been a long day but rewarding
I was too busy picking up a free jack
pic tomorrow..tis nice to have a welding table nice one.
If everybody drove a fender they wouldn't need a speed limit
Yer the roads would be empty cause they'd be stuck on the driveways that would bring the emissions down too.

There's a lorra wind comin. Yer mite brake a speed record if the doors get blowd oft.If everybody drove a fender they wouldn't need a speed limit
Make sure your dog n bone is fully charged up before the power lines get blowed down -----
Well that's the theory.
But if our car with Wifey in it bruk down on one of these types of road, we'd both sh!t ourselves big time.
and the M27 is feck off busy.
Couldn't agree more.Its a mental stupid idea how long before there's a breakdown then a pile up.
Maybe it was planning officers that came up with the idea.
