    We have never sold a car. We keep it serviced and use it until it dies and then get another one.
    So long as it gets us from A to B , can cope with a long steep hill , has plenty of space for stuff  we're happy enough.
    While we're on the subject of cars, do hub caps serve any function apart from aesthetics?
    Parking by Braille on occasion (not me) means that we have only one at the moment.

    They (are supposed to) keep grit, mud and grime out of the wheel studs and nuts and so prevent them rusting solid.  

    That’s what I was told way back when I worked at a garage in my teens (in the office).

     Thanks for answer. I'm thinking a bit of grease would do the same job😊

    I'm getting pop up ads for kwikfit now. Spooky👻. I wonder if Halfords is reading my posts too.

    Yep well, not Halfords per se ... but Bots are analysing everything we do online so that we get ‘targeted ads’.

    They always seem to miss the board with me-never mind the bullseye!  I've never been tempted to click on one.

    Pets at Home are introducing a 'national dog grooming month' apparently. I'm not sure you can just introduce a national 'buy stuff from us' month and expect people to swallow it. :|
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    My pop ups are much more boring than that. Maybe they want to do some gardening

    I wish the mice would stop nibbling my widgets.
    Ooh err, missus  :D
    Nothing worse than a nibbled widget....
    I have an ad blocker so I now have pop up envy  :/

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I'd give it a miss WE.   Rasta goes to the hairdresser every couple of months  If she didn't she'd get very hot, be impossible to bath after she's been rolling and would resemble a Rastafarian - hence her name.

    The French for a car's hub cap is "enjoliveur" which basically means a dooberry to "pretty something up".   Most of the country folk's vehicles round here have long since lost their's.
