Funny you should say that! Yes. Two dogs just took their dump in exactly the same place on the street when I was down in Alnwick earlier. Apparently, this is a sign from the local witch and means that next year's crops will die.
Or are we talking anything car wise, rather than in local news? In that case, no. But hey-ho, I'm spending very little on myself, the houses, old radios (haven't forgotten that Stella, it's approaching the top of my to do list, I promise), watches and/or anything else that isn't clinically essential. This way, I save more money, more quickly, and that means that I can up the budget enough to jump on a shiny, ready to use example of either the Fridolin or the Reliant Metrocab. OK, so doing so is contrary to my nature and I have a reputation as a tightwad to maintain, but I want stress free and stress free doesn't come with anything cheap. Apart from old Toyotas and I'm OK for those just now, but always open to the idea of a Southern Japanese import Hi ace 4x4 auto Diesel with the rear shower room and side kitchen layout. Short wheelbase only please, the long ones catch on the path when driven from the road onto my drive.

Strange, I always thought that when two dogs shat on the same spot it meant that there's going to be a big pile up.

And on an entirely different note, I shall be at The Goodwood Revival on Thursday, are there any messages you want to send Chris, Grumpy Northerner that is?

You can do better than that Rich, how about: "We want to see a letter from your Mum explaining your absence?"
