The above seemed a bit cryptic until I spotted a certain pattern when looking at "active threads".
If you'd given more of a clue I could have said "Thanks for the tip!" .

And now the roof tent gets advertised!
Thanks for the tip.
How long before it gets taken down? We could have a sweepstake. I go for 10am.

Not sure what advantage is to be gained though, but they're certainly enthusiastic.

Very much so… relatively clean compared to the rest of the car at the moment must be all those “Happy Meals” I’ve been eating while driving - I learnt from the Master I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

I never dropped my food on the steering wheel though. On trousers, yes, chips down the gap between the seat and centre consul, yes, winegum to same place, yes and retrieved/enjoyed, but never on the wheel.
Mind you I might have a pic of seat belt that needs a little clean.

Yes sorry late to the party! Reported transgressors usually get exterminated within seconds, but I was on the golf course, and DG was probably having a Sunday morning lay-in dreaming of 🐑 😉

Price of bits.....
A new solar light in your local supermarket is about £1.50.
A replacement battery of the same rating and manufacturer is about £3.00
Hmm, no surprise that things get thrown away instead of repaired.Rob Smith
Silver rools OK

Homebase, what a shambles of a place. Wife ordered a parasol online, which I went to collect today. So they rock up with an extremely damaged box, all sellotaped together, and think I’m going to accept their 2nd hand, returned, piece of garbage They tried to tell me that they had phoned earlier to tell us that it was the last one, and the box was damaged. No call logged on my wife’s phone. Their inventory said 32 in stock
They also tried to tell me that they weren’t in the habit of selling opened / used / or returned items for full retail price…….Yet the bloke in front of me had just returned a lawn mower that he said was used and full of grass when he opened the box Homebase, the new ‘Argos’, where you take your chance on buying something that has been bought, opened, possibly used, and returned 18 times. Refunded, and ‘no sale’ to me thank you. One of the worst ( attempted) purchasing experiences I have encountered of late.D3 owned from new, P017 brake recall, BAS FBHIC, new FBH, LR013487 oil pump, new water pump. RRS front lower suspension arms. New suspension compressor/ relay. New Denso alternator. CuNifer rear brake pipes. New GKN rear propshaft. New HPFP belt & tensioner. New A/C Condenser.NO WARRANTY for many many years.
