Talking of unwanted gizmos, our newer car (9 this year) has just started to flash a spanner symbol and says service. Reading the manual it's supposed to be a service reminder but the service is not due till April, and we have done about 4K miles since the last one so it'snot due yet. I've checked all the obvious and it's OK. I have read and re-read the instructions of how to clear the messages. Can I get it to work? Of course not. Trip to garage needed.
Not sure what you mean wild edges. I'm not mechanically minded.
If you park a car when the brake discs are hot the metal of the disc will cool and contract after you've applied the handbrake. The electronic brakes keep adjusting while the car is parked to allow for the metal contracting. The main cause of handbrake failure on parked cars was always the discs contracting which can reduce the force of the brake pad on the disc and allows the car to roll away (if you don't leave it in gear). A car almost hit us last year when we were out walking because of this.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I just popped down to Coop to get some stuff and they're having a clearout on alcohol. I picked up a 4 pack of fancy beers for £1.50 in flagrant disregard for the minimum alcohol pricing law. I'm sure it will taste all the better for it.

I see, I'd never thought of that. That is clever then. Does it help when stationary, that it's an automatic, because it's in P?
You'd have to check the car's manual. Some of them say to engage the handbrake and then put the car into P. The P is usually a failsafe in case the handbrake fails but you don't want to leave it under stress all the time.

Wild Edges,is the booze a curmudgeon!! We get small fish/chips from the next village it's £6 for small, to share between the two of us,and we can't eat all the chips. We have a chippy in our village,less than 60 seconds walk,but it's a lot more expensive, not very nice, people are rude,they allowed a 12 year old to work behind the counter,he "couldn't add up my change". You would give your order,sit down,folk would come in after you,get their orders, you could sit there half hour,so we stopped going there. Found one we liked better.
The chippy we use [not that it's very often] is very very good @Nanny Beach. They had another outlet near us, and this new one is run by the same family. Her brother [who ran the first one] died suddenly a couple of years ago, and there was a huge outpouring of support. They're all lovely, and I wouldn't go anywhere else. They've all had a hard time over the last couple of years too, so even if it's only a bag of chips, that's where I'd go. Actually -I don't really like chips, so a single fish is what I'd have
It's hard to ignore these flashing lights @B3 if you're like me. Signal interference for the badly wired brain - or what's left of it
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Do chippies let you bring your own packaging yet? I can't remember the last time I went to one but I'm still seeing tons of polystyrene boxes dumped around the streets. It's disappointing that they're still using that stuff considering newspaper used to do the job just fine.
