EDIT - In reference to Bauble's request for multiple referendums.
I think we should have them too. And again. And again. And it's nothing to do with the fact that Mrs MM is a poll clerk Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk |

It's funny what these random rambles remind one about.

A warning to all in the Mojacar area. Be careful about drink driving as we are getting close to Christmas and police are out checking on people on the playa. Last night I was out for a few drinks and one thing led to another and I had a few too many cocktails 🍹 and then went on to wine. Not a good idea. Knowing I was over the limit I decided to leave my car on south beach and took a bus home, I passed the police check point, where they were pulling over drivers and performing breath tests, Because I was on the bus they just waved it past. I arrived home safely and no accident, which was a real surprise because I have never driven a bus before and I am not even sure where I got it from.

In actual fact I was pulled up in a cops breathalyser road block a while back along the Mojacar beach road at about 1am. The cop went to the left hand side of the car and asked Sue if she had been drinking alcohol and she replied yes loads ! The officer then realised that she didn't have a steering wheel in front of her and walked round to my side and asked me the same.
I said no and he waved me on I was amazed that he believed me and drove to our nearest bar at the bottom of our road for a nightcap However I was telling the truth and the police are very strict on drink driving with just about zero limit in Spain (especially the Brits) |

Soo... what’s bargains has anyone blagged on “Black Friday” ? Apart from delta’s fuel cap, that is!
All I managed was 5 litres of car shampoo. Not exactly exciting....... I did make the mistake of attempting to navigate a section of Norwich inner ring road though. Jammed by shoppers desperately trying to get into the centre car parks. Just the sort of situation where I should have been using Waze (other community based nav apps are available)..... |

Well I'm sure you're right.....and have probably realised by now that the "2200" referred to was because 2 x 1100 engines equals....... |

I remember when the Landcrab came out as I was working for and Austin/Morris agent, they were quite a good car and I remember we had a vet customer that used to thrash it round farm tracks and fields and thought it was the dogs do da's

I just love these old films, but I used to work on these when I left school !
Including the same "plummy" voice over man that seemed to narrate just about all these types of documentaries, enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuwTWujeMM0 |

We also had a farmer customer that bought 2 Austin 3 litres, one for him and one for his son. They did pretty well considering the abuse they got. Considerably better than the 2 Mk4 Zodiacs they had! Seem to remember them in every other month for new front struts...... |

Did anyone stop to think that constant speed cruising for long distances was not the most arduous test they could subject the engine to? |

I remember the salesman at the local dealer telling me how he had been on a tour of the factory & spotted 1800's on the line with Austin badges one end & Morris the other, so pointed it out to their guide. "Oh yes" was the reply. "Somebody runs a batch of 50 like that every now & then." Wonder if any ever escaped into the outside world? |
