love the typo above.. Read more
Sorry, but I disagree with this. Given the current furore about many teachers' 'reluctance' to return to full work and encouraging pupils to stay at home and in many cases refusing to even teach online, they as a group don't deserve this.
Even those who did better - how exactly are they any more 'special' than the rest of workers who did their jobs throughout lockdown? Some frontline healthcare workers, perhaps, but many other healthcare workers haven't exactly been busy (unless you think that participating in highly choreographed tiktok dance routes or refusing people treatments and twiddling their thums [again on full pay] being busy), have they.

Couldnt agree more Engineer Andy. My son in laws a teacher and has virtually had half of this year off on full pay. Im an essential worker and have just got on with my full time job, no reward,no fuss. Teachers have it pretty easy in my opinion.
As they say, “those that can - do” “those that cant - teach”....
Are these reviews really about changing air quality, or has someone just noticed the rapidly worsening economies of these towns, has the penny dropped that penalising people wishing to travel within thereby keeping these towns viable wasn't maybe their best move after all. Read more
Hello guys,
Last Friday I was driving dual carriage way and suddenly noise started appearing. It was like the belt got broken or something sort of rhythmic knocking sound. A minute later lights flashing on the dashboard appears indicating low oil level and steering wheel problem and than car just stopped. Engine got seized. It is five years car with 70K on the clock. I just wonder what would be you suggestion. Unfortunately it is my misses car and she just bought ten month ago and still have to pay for it as she took it on finance. Car was bought last October and oil level was not checked since than. The guarantee has past as it is more than 5 years. My misses did 6.5 K miles since she bought it. I would appreciate any advise on this matter as at the moment it looks hopeless.... Read more

Sonim planning to get them exchanged...
Over the past four days I must have tried to ring the DVLA a hundred times only to get the busy tone or be told to ring back another day. How are you meant to ring them? Considering my the many hundreds I pay them the level of service is totally unacceptable! Read more
RaineMan, I don't know what your enquiry is but I have had no difficulty using the DVLA services online. Most things can be dealt with via that medium. If you really need to speak to someone I don't know what to suggest. Maybe a recorded delivery letter, 1st class, would elicit a response. Especially if you politely requested contact by mobile or landline or even e mail if you wish. I know it is frustrating when you feel you need to speak to someone so good luck.
Cheers Concrete
Hello,
just a hypothetical (at this time) post really.........apart from a Toyota MR2 & a BMW Z4, which were second fun cars, over the past 25 years or so l've driven turbo diesels & still do. l like the way they drive, the torque, the economy etc. However, the next vehicle, as mileage is now down to 5 - 7k per year, will more than likely be petrol. Journeys are made up of mainly local runs & in the summer trips to the van on the Welsh coast from Shropshire.... Read more
I admit to a bias against tiny turbos ...
The Japanese have been fitting turbo's to engines much smaller (660cc) than your 1.2 for years, reliably. So if there are long term reliability issues with that VAG 1.2, i doubt it would be anything to do with the turbo itself, more the engineering. And lets face it, the engine is not under much stress, 105/110 bhp is not much for a 1.2 turbo. Ford's 1.0 Ecoboost has at various times (not currently i believe) been available with as much as 140bhp....

The local police cadets did a patrol before Civid-19, under the supervision of the local police neighbour team. I think they did around 100 houses, they found five unlocked cars on drives and two front doors left open (not unlocked, open).
