My own fault, as I have repeatedly put off doing anything about it. As a last resort I even swore blind I saw 2 crested newts and half a dozen greater horseshoe bats nesting there but she was having none of it.

Ah well, anything for a quiet life.
Mrs MB is very patient, but I don't think she was too impressed when I mentioned titivating the 214 ready for it's test.

When asked why I still have this old banger, I replied I like it better than the new bangers
