Well after careful husbanding I finally got down to the red line on my tank last night so It was a brisk walk to the station this morning! Only drawback is I won't be able to go to the folk club tonight to sing songs of protest as it's too far to walk.

Shambles and Dorrit have the right of it. We are being held to ransom by (to quote Steve Bell in the Guardian) some "fat disgruntled gits against everything". These are the same folk in badly maintained trucks who weave about on motorways. Yes I know it's their livelihood but there is a planet to consider.
