My car failed it's MOT on Thursday, tha tax ran out yesterday so it is sitting in a garage waiting to be tested again, I suppose I won't be allowed to drive it home until it passes and I then get road tax on it.

I know you're allowed to drive a car to the MOT centre even if it's failed.

I dunno how you're supposed to get it from the MOT centre if it's failed. Maybe if it fails in the time of the old MOT?

The car had gone when daylight came, a different car is there.

Three ambulances have just gone past.

Skywriting.

I was just looking at that. I thought it was rather presumptuous of them, the sky is for all of us to enjoy, not just them.

Actually, if I compare the angle of your picture with my memory of how it looked from here, I could work out where you took the photo from.

X equals heart over?
Give it a go and I will tell you how close your calcs are.

It was the idea of a church apparently.

'Religion and politics will not be discussed in the mess' - so I won't be saying what I think of their idea

Someone has stolen the selfish neighbours' cone.

But they've started putting out a different cone instead

One of those orange electric scooters has appeared outside the house across the road.

That had better not end up in my side passage

While I was warming my car up an hour ago, a man drove up in a van with the orange scooter logo on the side, and got out and put the scooter in the van, and drove off with it.

Digging up the road with all pneumatic drills.

Lots of burly men walking purposefully towards their vans, with rolling toolboxes and intriguing cases which no doubt contain the precision instruments of exotic trades.

All police cars and vans and pamaredics and hecilopters and ambliances!
