If it's cold again tomorrow, I'm off down the town - M & Co. have a huge fan heater just inside the entrance doors - if you stand under it for 10 minutes, it keeps you lovely and warm. Mind you, it does mean standing amongst the ladies underthings for 10 minutes, and you do get some odd looks

I was trying to hang on until the 1st December Freddie - but weakened under complaints, and threats of physical violence, from SWMBO and daughter

I ran a test on ours in the middle of last month and fired it up about a week ago. I think we have had a good run with the weather, but it did just manage to hit -1 at 04:00 this morning for the first time since the summer.

As a kid, I remember we always got the first frosts appearing by Bonfire night, so nothing much has changed.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

At least yours fired up and didn't bang and crash and demand a new hallway radiator and central heating pump
