Military exercises close by. Interrupting signals. Necessitating measures to counter it.

Fun in the snow I bet.

I had a 1979 mk11 1600 Sport in the very early 90's when you could buy them for £750 run them for a few years and sell the remains for £250 to be stripped and re built for club motor sport. One of the cars I wish I could have kept.

Hire bikes and scooters.

They would be fine if always parked sensibly when not in use.

But they are not, often ending up where they definitely should not be.

Following on from the hire bike, the things that folk think can be disposed of in a river.

That was a 1974 MK1 Escort Sport. Would be worth a few quid now if it was still going. As for the snow, yep, good fun! That would have been 1983 give or take. Edit. I have just looked on DVLA. It is still a signed to an Escort but in white and I was wrong about the year, it was 1973. Last record of it was needing tax in 1997, and isn’t insured. Could be in a barn somewhere.

Ikea.

On our admittedly infrequent visits I have to find other things to do to keep me from getting tetchy half way around the shop.

Though I am not the only one to get distracted and start playing with the props.

I am sure Steph was not the first to do this.

Same age and colour as my first car though mine was the 1300XL version.  Sadly mine got written off.
