Is this what people in Devon do for excitement? Follow a news feed about a drowning beemer?  ;D

Honestly the local paper website here is a complete laughing stock of the internet

Once you've got your eye in so to speak, I'll bring my Mondeo down to you for cam belt and water pump change!  :P  ;D

They are broadly similar I'd think gynaecologically?   :-\  ;)

The mk1 & mk2 Galaxies were re-badged Seat Alhambras  built in Spain with a VW Golf 1.9tdi engine.
The later Galaxies were built by Ford but I don't know if any of the design was carried over :-\

The language will be very similar. I will have to try not to say what I am thinking out loud.....

we used to pickup stolen safes for the Police all the time. Nothing unusual about that one.


We also had a run off burnt out pickup trucks abandoned on country roads, with the remains of cash machines in them.

Still recall many years ago the headline of the local weekly paper[South Yorkshire Times]read "Percy the Pigeon Flies Home" :o gosh the excitement that generated was totally..................underwhelming :D :D ;D

I like the one about the guy who escapes from the looney bin and goes on the run. He comes across some ladies in the local launderette, so he goes in and sexually assaults them and is on his toes again before plod arrives.
The headline in the local paper reads: NUT SCREWS WASHERS and BOLTS.

No? Oh well  ;D
