Internet speeds have been glacially slow here for as long as I can remember. Whirling circles or 'computer says no' is common in the land of the carrot-cruncher.

It's not uncommon for both upload and download speeds to be less than 3 or 4 Mbps.

Anyway, a new provider called Quickline has been set up to help resident prols in Lincolnshire and rural parts of Yorkshire with (supposedly) super quick fibre optic broadband.....with help from the tax payer.

We have signed up to a 24 month contract  offering 1000Mbps for £32 each month.....both the inner and outer cable are ready to be drilled through the wall on the 22nd December.

Fingers crossed.

I just stole a turkey from ASDA.
Security man ran after me shouting 'What you doing with that?'.
So I shouted back:
'Potatoes, peas, carrots & gravy.’

If you want crazy, then this has to be up there (with Opti's favourite Signum engine featuring  )

Was thinking about this on the way home tonight. I reckon it'd be better doing this swap into a meriva, proper OAP spec. You could certainly bait a few folk with that!

Funny you should say that, I filled the tank this afternoon. had 40 miles left according to the computer and it took over £80 to fill it.
Oh for the days of 50p a gallon. 

Drove it into central Londonium due to no parking again at either of the Bicester stations.
………

You could always park in a side road at the town end of Langford Village. Then cut through the park on foot and it brings you out by the level crossing, where you can cross over and go across the foot bridge to the Bicester Village station. It takes less than ten minutes from car to station on foot. 
It was just a thought if you’re ever stuck for parking and really need to go on the train, although I’d agree that going in your own car is nicer. 

Yeah, I even have a driveway there I can park it on, although will had an extra 4 or 5 minutes, but less likely to piss locals off or sustain damage....

Only got one lesser car now. The little C1, which I use for commuting and general running around.
Hence the Omega only covers about 3000 miles per year.
Wouldnt want to wear the old girl out. 

Or lash out ££££ for fuel

mine is 74 hc.had it since 1990 .its holding up pretty well as you say they used to rust for fun back in the day .mine is still on its original (untouched)inner wings,sills and front wings and valance so i must be doing something right over the years !!

I used to build the rear axle for them in Ellesmere Port. That was a veeeeeery long time ago 

That explains a lot. Axle on mine was a noisy little bugger. 

No such thing as a quiet scouser....

 

Clean pass, no advisories. Not bad for 202000 miles and 23 years old.
Made my day tbh. 

result  well done
you can bin all your other lesser cars and drive everywhere in comfort now
