That's how I parked my camperNoggin wrote: Tue Feb 17, 2026 7:09 pmMillions of years ago, my sis asked my SDad how to tell if you had reversed far enough when parking?
He replied ( a bit tongue in cheek I think!!) - just reverse very very slowly and keep going till you hear the tow bar touch!!!

Best advice I was ever given and it was many years ago, keep the factory out of your food...gremlin wrote: Wed Feb 18, 2026 3:18 pm And yet people give me and Mrs. G funny looks if we mention that we never eat 'prepared' food at home, like we're the stupid ones..

Methinks the UK road network is not suitable for driverless vehicles. Certainly not the Cornish part of the road network.
You obviously have not been in Cornwall recently. Triple the grass, let the hedges grow out a foot each side, and rip up 50% of the tarmac with potholes about 6 inches deep. Oh yes, and fill up that bit at the bottom of the hill with water, about a foot deep should do it. Add pissing rain to restrict visibility a bit too.

The thicker hedges would slightly soften the impact with the drystone wall hiding inside them...Cousin Jack wrote: Wed Feb 18, 2026 10:29 pm You obviously have not been in Cornwall recently.

Reviewing the applicants today, and only 6 or 7 have anything near relevant experience - have a physio, a rowing instructor, a photocopier repair man, an IT manager, a programmer, amongst other randoms. Why bother.....?????
Universal credit innit. Need to apply for x jobs per week to avoid sanction.

Can't argue with the cup/mug handle thing... it's always baffled me. Can't say i've ever worked out if it's just Costa or other places.. but yeah, no arguments here.Taipan wrote: Fri Feb 20, 2026 8:23 am Costa is BMP at the moment. My finger doesn’t even fit into the cup handle to pick up the over priced cup of tea! It’s also a coffee cup and the stupid large surface area means it’s going cold quick and to top it all the cup is too big for the tea pot do I only get 1.5 cups out of it. And my wife wonders why I don’t take her in these stupid places. I know my station and I’m a greasy spoon kinda guy!
