    4 x 2 frequently used down in Cornwall, that and a can of WD40 is sometimes all you need, oh and a roll of duck tape. 
    That tape is the greatest invention known to man @Lyn  ;)

    I loved that joke too @punkdoc. 
    Less so, that item about the containers. Saw it on the morning news  :/
    Did anyone hear the tribute that young lady wrote to her husband - the constable who was murdered last week? You'd need to be devoid of any emotion whatsoever not to cry. Poor soul.

    I did @Fairygirl and as you say something did get into my eye whilst I was listening.

    Happens to me all the time @punkdoc. That wind blowing up dust is a bl**dy nuisance. Happened to me again when I was out for a walk earlier. Lovely Ken Bruce played a Karen Carpenter song. What a dreadful waste of that beautiful voice, and by all accounts, a lovely girl.  :(
    I'm currently listening to them discussing that situation of the containers on the radio. There was a lovely girl on relating her situation. Shameful. Fortunately, her family are ok now. That dust got in my eyes again....

    One of my favourite guitar solos, is the one on Goodbye to love. My punk credibility is rapidly failing.

    She was glorious though doc, wasn't she? No shame in admiring that voice at all ;)
    Edwyn Collins was on doing his Tracks of his Years. He picked America [Simon  & Garfunkel]  yesterday and Jean Genie today along with a Bobbie Gentry track. Pretty diverse too. What a  tough time he's had, but eternally upbeat and optimistic. Great man  :)

    Voice like an angel.
    Love Edwyn Collins too, saw Orange Juice many moons ago. As you say, always so positive when interviewed.

    Well, as I expected, the car needs a bit of work before we head for Cornwall ... a track rod and tie rod, front brake pads, an oil change and filter and a sidelight bulb ... all booked in for next Tuesday 👍 

    Now I’ll have a read back and see what everyone’s been up to ....

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Nah ... approx £350 including the oil change ... the only money I’ve spent on it in the last three years is MOT fees and new tyres.
