haha! yeah she does get used as god intended!
normally i would have done the little bits before but as the wife isnt able to lift and carry amnything at the mo i havent had time what with the littlun, but have done the mirro, adjusted the lights, (although not 100% sure on what he meant by too far to the left! as that surely cant be a bad thing! and the angle hasnt been touched since he set them up 2 years ago!) have a spare alloy and tyre to go on, so effectively its going to cost me for the cv boot (£6, ) and labour at my mech's (about a tenner!) so including the mot fee its going to come in at less than £70! so cant moan at that!

Apparently so! am not a real ale drinker am affraid! but we do have a few good brewers down here, Sharps and Skinners are prolly the best two, there are of course the St.austell brewery ones (Walter hicks brewery is another name for it! - there Wlater hicks Rum is very nice!) but i ther eare not so popular down here! ( i went to school next to the brewery! love the smell of hops!)
But that said, there is nothing quite like sitting at either a pub on the beech or on the quayside having a nice pint watching the totty ooops world go by!!
