Re: Glimmer of hope?

It's probably best if I refrain from saying what I think about that. :evil: Mischievous at best. The words &q...

Re: Diesel now bad?

I've always suspected this whole "certain fuel is better for your health" fiasco to be complete hogwash. I suspect the main reason they keep changing their minds is to keep up car sales, as people who follow the government's advice will chop and change their car every 2 - 3 years dependin...

Re: if you retook your driving test...

"50% (six of the 12 who took part) would pass if they took it again today." "Of the 12 volunteers, seven had undergone advanced driver training with the IAM. Of those, six passed the mini test. And of the five who had had no advanced tuition, just one passed." The first sentence ...
