Morning all. The Freelander is the finest Land Rover ever built and to prove it mine has just passed its MOT with no advisories for the third year in a row. C'mon, Trattergirlies, beat that.
 
Afternoon all. Lovely & dry.

@DevonGuy last fail was 2005/2006
Passed All others years ,always have little advisories other wise what would I do all year?
Wait till the mot man finds I now have a galv bulkhead to go with the galv chassis.

Pretty good going, Phill.
When DevonBird and I were very poor, buying our first house and raising 2 kids, we ran those little Fiat Pandas which were repaired and maintained exclusively by yours truly. We had 4 of the things one after another and only had one fail in umpteen years and hundreds of thousands of miles: one outboard driveshaft gaiter which I must have missed in the failing light in my council-rent garage. One of the most underrated vehicles ever built which deserves a place with the 2CV, Morris Minor, Beetle and Mini as a starter car for ordinary folk.
 
Each year the nob over the road tries to out do everyone else with bangers. All yer get is constant loud bangs. Much louder than others. So far tonight he's not set any oft. Normally he'd be out by now. Tis a good sign.
 
get a grip
Of what? They're annoying. Eggspecially at 1am. They're wasted if only a few peeps are watching them. Would be better if peeps went to a display or joined forces locally. This year one of the neighbours has concentrated on colour rather than bangers.

I think peeps should have a bit more respect for their neighbours. Mortar bomb type fireworks are annoying. There's no sparkle. Just a very loud bang. Living in a residential area... I think it's innapropriate. We don't need the police. They'll be busy helping the fire service on their busiest few nights of the year. We need peeps to be more considerate to others. 9pm till 1am is too much for one households display. Peeps know what they're doing. They have the option to think for themselves.

The police are stretched. They tackle requests on priority basis. Crime in action is a priority. Earlier this week the top police chief was ont radio 4. She made some interesting comments along the lines of not being under social pressure to take action against a wolf whistle when a quiet word to a building site supervisor requesting it to stop would be enough. Also the pressure to follow up crimes where the perpetrator is dead and therefore prosecution as a deterrent is never achievable. It makes sense.
