Tee hee, Kevin - "wife unfriendly"!

Buying REAL diesel must have hurt, Albs - but well done for that pass!

I have a Swiss Army Pocket Knife, given to me by our Swiss parent company for achieving our targets, which has 20 tools that I keep in my handbag for emergency use

Yeah, yeah. Tell that to the judge. 

Yeah. Honest gov. Just for emergencies

You'll be going down, Lizzie..........

I beg you pardon     

Lizzie is a nice young lady. She knows I'm a gentleman and wouldn't dream of implying imply the other type of 'going down'.

Exactly right Opti. I didn't know there was another way to "go down"......you go down to your car or go down to Australia, but surely there is no other meaning?   

Ahem - the lady doth protest too much!

I usually carry a small (locking) folding knife from Poundland - amazingly useful, but no threat to a mouse!

My Sky deal includes fibre-based broadband and TV, along with all telephone calls. The latter SWMBO would sorely miss, as she lives on the telephone, so I dare not change provider - unless anyone knows different?

Terry, I may have missed the point, but could you not re-terminate the brown wire with this?

If you don't have a crimping tool, you could easily remove the blue sleeve and solder it on.

As you made it clear that you wanted NEW tyres, not tyres over two years old, you have a legitimate complaint.
They put dates on tyres for a reason, and could be an MOT failure if too old, yes?

I hoped that you would have realised that the "typo" was deliberate, for comic effect.
A Londoner would have understood.....

"Boadicea" came about as a mis-reading of the original document; it IS Boudica and the erudie Dr. Opti is correct.

Your local pharmacy shoul have IPA in stock, but may want you to buy more than you need!
I used to use it to play vinyl on a posh record deck as it dries without leaving a residue.

STEMO, I would have preferred you to have said that you are English rather than British, but otherwise I agree with you completely.
