My Disco has suddenly started overheating, Water O.K., Thermostat Working, but after about five miles from cold it overheats and 'Knocks it's head off'. Any ideas of the cause?

Redhand, I am not criticising your heritage. I just commented on your use of the term "Pikey" because it is a derrogatory term used by what they term "Gadge" (Non traveller) or "Gorger" (House dweller) to describe a "Traveller" or "Pavee". It is like you being described as "Chancer" or "Burglar".

Absolutely Correct. "Pikey" is a derrogative term. A lot of their language 'Pavee' (Shelta) has found it's way into English. 'Moniker'= Name 'Cushty' = Good and recently " Chavee" meaning Son. Are the few I can think of at the moment. (There is also "minge" which I won't translate) There...

I changed my battery yesterday and then the radio stopped working. The radio is showing a frequency 960 but I cannot change stations and no sound. I haven't got the anti-thief pin number in case I have to reset. Anybody any ideas ( apart from that, Grunt):D

Thank you all for your advice. I have never really been one for convention. It is appreciated however. Well Grunt, I don't know about using the Queen's English. I can drop into my old Dialect if necessary. I am originally from the North-West (Salford) and worked on Northern papers in my early...

I am a retired newspaper reporter, a shooting enthusiast and have a 1997 Land Rover TDI Diesel Discovery. I live in Cambridge. I have been 'Plagued' recently with flat tyres and NTS supplied me with tyres suggesting that it was the result of a 'Tyre Slasher' It cost me £600 and I still...
