I had a "P RANGE" fault and no GO GO juice reading for a while 

Today I emptied all the bodies out the boot  got to he tank wiring

I got the ye olde multimeter out and did some diagnostics

It was one of the wires IN the tank for the gauge ,high resistance  , now sorted 

It took the drive back for the "wallet thickness sensor" in the driver's seat to inform the computer how much fuel I didn't have

It shows how wrong the British legal system gets things quite often 

Hopefully a proper investigation NOW will name and shame ALL those involved in the cover up and injustice

Surprises me how many People never bother to learn the lingo of the country they're in.   

Mrs Maqmood (aka Mrs Mack) down the road has lived here for 50 ? years & doesn't speak English! 

Probably too late to worth bothering to learn English now

Travelodge.  Apparently the price when it was booked is no longer valid now I'm stood at reception.  self-abusers.

Apple. Poxy useless, stupid oppsing phone no longer broadcasts out its hotspot, despite if saying it is.  Apple's best solution is to talk to them once I've reset the networking on the phone, and if that doesn't help, factory rest the phone.  How about opps Off Jobs you useless idiot.

Steve Jobs died of complications* from pancreatic cancer Oct. 2011.

complications*
Maybe his doctors where doing 26 apple updates on their phones ,rather than saving his life

.....
so,,, for example ,,,, someone has their windscreen partly blocked with "magic tree air fresheners" might NOT  like the resulting certificate 

     

I think a good old fashioned opps Off is appropriate

*Snigger*

Actually, is that still allowed

Which "that" 
driver's view of the road obscured by sat navs ,magic tree ,fury dice etc
An NT would probably remove before test ,it's not worth the hassle of refusing a test ,then re-booking (test stations have to pay the DVSA a fee per test in blocks of 25)
an Traffic cop in a bad mood could ticket you
New AI cameras  could be set to ticket you by post when driving with tat in the window
