Will this be due to ease of access needed for a baby seat? 
Regards Kev.
Partly Kev yes but also mine is nearly 17 years old although not a lot of miles for age but still although only ever done the general wear / tear of car & need a car for work

Does that mean you won’t be drinking at the “do”?
Made it back home safely today, despite some scary antics on the A34 from a couple of artic drivers who, after I pulled over to let them out of a slip road, presumably wanted to get a better look into the luggage area of our car and then followed each other at a distance so close that you couldn’t have walked between them. 
No more trips away until early January now, a few days further north near Richmond. 
Still, there is Christmas to look forward to, it wont be long now lads and lasses and I must get the mince pies made soon and the rest of the decorations put up. 
Pete.
Hells bells i don’t know why we keep paying border force pillocks , I told them to be on the lookout immigrants sneaking into our area . Should have picked you up before you got north of birmingham .

I anticipated that Dave so had a change of tack and went via the A43 and M1, just like dodging the Ministry in the old days! I’m off to Punchy Dan’s village one day this week to collect an engine for delivery to Durham, I’m hoping my old ‘dodging skills’ will help me to avoid the restless natives there looking for a Christmas sacrifice though they may mistake me for the New Messiah of course! 
Pete.
We shall probably notice a deafening silence from the macclesfield immigrant soon , if he does the usual and decamps to darkest gloucestershire over xmas .

Oh aye, so you’re planning a visit to my land are you? Well I’m here to tell you all the derogatory remarks you’ve been making about us kind, pleasant, gentle, GENEROUS, Yorkshire men have been noted so make sure all your travel documents are in order because whilst the government doesn’t have a clue about immigration figures…we do and we don’t forget scurrilous remarks made against us.
Our border guards will show you what REAL grumpy is. …
Oh, and bring your money, you’ll need it to buy a drop of decent ale.

Thought you were more West Yorkshire than North Yorkshire GOM so I wont be troubling you much apart from a quick pitstop at Ferrybridge services to turn my bike around! As I don’t drink I assume the “bring your money” request was so that I could buy You ale…dream on lad, think of your liver and stick to drinking water. Also I haven’t had a pension as long as you so am well behind you in the finance stakes. I spend a lot of time in Yorkshire each year, I have many friends there and I can tell how generous they are by the fact that not one of them has sent a blooming Christmas card. I haven’t sent them any either of course, but I know that true Yorkshire folk say that it is far better to give than to recieve so I did expect a few at least. 
Pete.
Well one of the Oxfordshire radio stations solved the great “Lennon or McCartney” debate yesterday. After “Merry Christmas, blah blah blah…” they played “Wonderful Christmas Time” Take back the blokes’ knighthood, what a load of crap. Sounds like it was arranged on one of those toy pianos that little kids get for Christmas. But not my kids though.

I was brought up in Banffshire, so the divide between North and South runs from Aberdeen to Fort William. Anything you stick in your mouth that isn’t Whisky or Stovies is classed as “Foreign Shxte” and you canny be classed as tight when you have bugger all to give.
So stop whinging you toffy nosed bunch of Aristocrats and enjoy your affluent status.

Count me in Pete, the tinnies are already on ice and for that reason I am going to ask The Commander in Chief of the British Forces contingent of the B.H.B.C. Brigade, G.O.M. if I can have a forty eight hour pass. In fact as it’s Christmas I think that he should give us all one.
