PMSL  

I don't think it is nice telling everyone that Kate is old, she is just mature..............

[Kate]

You cheeky buggers!  Tell you what, I bet a few oofers would fail an MOT!

[Miggy24]

£30 for an mot thats well cheap.Down here in devon your looking at about £50 for one

[Kate]

My MOT tester is really strict and sometimes cars end up going straight to the scrapyard after he has tested them.

I found out yesterday that the tips are for his casino/beer money!

i pay £32.50 no retest fee  

[Kate]

So can no-one beat £30?

No retest fee either and initial test is only £10 if it fails.

By the way Mike have you been down Houghton cut lately?

They are doing roadworks and have put the speed limit down to 30!  (it's a dual carriageway)




Now a speed camera van hides at the bottom.

I was doing 34 today do you think I will get a ticket?

Not been up there since Christmas day, don't seem to vist swmbo family very often, no particular reason.
34, you might just get away with it, 10% plus your speedo will read low at that speed, I think.

The rule used to be 10% + 2 MPH, i.e. you had to be doing 35 to get a ticket, nowadays though in the interest of revenue raising I am not sure what discretion is applied, if any, it is so easy to rely on computer generated tickets. Totally off topic, in early September I drove from Dover to Durham, 353 miles, and did not see a single police vehicle of any description, not one, anywhere. Are they relying too much on cameras, not a single marked car to deter dangerous drivers who tailgate, stay in lane 2 for 30 miles, don't use their lights in rain / fog etc. I for one would prefer a visible police presence rather than constantly looking for cameras. What do other members think ?

I would get it put right if possible kate.

Yes I would rather have the police than those irritating cameras anyday.  At least you can chat up the police!
