That'd be more like "toot, toot!"
Just started watching a recorded "Car SOS"
They picked the car up from the car park of the pub I and a few colleagues used to have a few drinks on a Friday after work.
Possibility that the bloke's son went to the school I taught in.
Small world!!

Beautiful foggy morning.
Bit of a question why is it in fog white/silver cars don't put their lights on. Also when there is was than 100m vision in fog hardly anyone puts fog lights on but a bit of rain people put fog lights on.
Is it just me?

My trick is to stop looking for it and let your hind brain catch up. You'll find your gaze alighting on the lost item just like that!a) Go back and look again in the first place you checked and dismissed.
b) Forget it 'cos it will turn up as soon as you are not looking for it.
These are my two suggestions - learnt over many years of 'losing' things.
Sooo, coming back down the A3 yesdi a funny noise began in the engine bay, a whirring kinda noise. Dropped oft the M27 onto the A27 and pulled over, nothing obvious to see but thought it might be the idle pulley bearing and opted to push on. Around Porchester the noise stopped, followed by a 'ping', the battery light came on and the steering went heavy. No serpentine belt, thinks I. Made it home without overheating (just). It was the alternator bearing, failed entirely and threw the belt which ended up around the fan. Only replaced the damn thing last April anorl!
Snotty email sent, need to fix it it asap as we're off to Cornwall next Satdi (I'll leave the house keys in the usual place).
Silver lining. Puppy looks great.

Sorry to hear of the belt/alternator woes, good news on the puppy though!Sooo, coming back down the A3 yesdi a funny noise began in the engine bay, a whirring kinda noise.

Morning All.
We struggled manfully (and Womanfully?) and knocked another metpost in for the relocated gatepost, then we moved the very heavy gate and the other post that is fitted to the wall. On final mounting of the gate I find I have made a "schoolboy-error" and the wall-mounted post is in the wrong position relative to the other one.
So it has all got to come off again and be repositioned. Arrgghh!
I have not got over yesterday's exertions yet, but here we go again.
Have a great day!

Forgot you used to be a Tyre blokey, and must have done this loads a times a day!!!
A few years ago I got a local tyre company to come out & fit two tyres on the misses c5 as she had burst em when she went
into a ditch. I was at work so couldnt get away. They couldnt get the locking wheel nuts off so put the tyres inside the motor
& told me they would come back to remove them the next day. I went to have a look & rather than take the wheel nuts off
I whipped the tyres off whilst the wheels were still on & fitted the new ones n left it on the trailer. It was after hours so coulnt
tell them. Imagine the lads face when he came back
Got a call from the boss to ask how I managed to do it. 
Yer, rightoStay safe and see you after church
Washed me tratter this morning. Well, three quarters of it because I couldn't be arsed to move it out of the way of a wall. Seem to remember that's how I did to last time, its beginning to look like two vehicles cut up and welded together.

Filled the landy full of compost 6 bags and other gardening fun then off to get straw and duck food (I buy 15kg bags at a time) then home to do alot of gardening because I really can't face being the domestic goddess and putting the washing away. Mr WL has a rubbish wife
Chest is back to normal don't feel like I've been punched anymore and I'm feeling alot better.
