Rooted

Carry on and stay calm then. We all die of something. Some more painfully than others. Remember that if you ever end up needing oxygen delivered to your home. Maybe these days in an Electric Van. Lots of the high reading streets in Scotland are were bus stations / depots are and bus stop areas and taxi ranks. Not rocket science.

Smoking, over eating, drinking too much alcohol should possibly be on more death certificates. Vaping might be appearing more often. Are people saying that the Sugar tax is wrong, and are they saying that there is no need to reduce pollution in the UK? From Aircraft, Power Stations & Vehicles or from other sources that it can be reduced from.

&. That will still be too much pollution. I do wish people would sniff their tail pipes more often. Actually lay down at the tail of the car and have a rest as the Diesels do a regen when a car is sitting idling fast. I am not suggesting 'sewage' side. The dirty way out. But why are the exhaust systems leaking into the car an issue, and why is it not sensible to run a vaccum cleaner pipe from the exhaust into the cabin of the vehicle?

What a load of b0ll0cks on BEV brakes. Some quality brakes might be lasting longer, front discs and rear drums, rear wheel drive or all wheel drive. But then there are all BEV, from Stellantis when there is cars are built on the same platform as the ICE cars and have they same brake parts, pads & discs that rust and need replacing not from doing miles, but not getting used much with the brake pedal and the e-brake not really usable to clean them off. The pads are getting some wear and there is lots rust dust. My Vauxhall Corsa Electric got the 3rd set of discs fitted before going to a new owners after it's 1st MOT. Just the same crap as fitted to ICE cars. As they were when OEM tyres were changed a week after i got the car, and then like ****e beforethe first winter was over,

I got a pair and thought i had made an error and my Smart Mobile did not support them even though i had the app and they paired and Bluetooth Connected. I actually called to arrange returning them and then the charger case must have had enough charge, the glasses as well and things started happening and an update went to the glasses and my phone when i connected to wi-fi. They are quite amazing. Hands free and voice activated. Just ask Meta to take a picture, start videoing, live stream, make a call, it reads txts to you, & turn on music as requested, answers questions via Ai lol. I am going to have to be vary careful what i say or ask when they are out of the case and turned on. I am stone deaf in my left ear yet i hear perfectly what comes from the speakers in the arm of the glasses.

@sam8520? Did you get the car at a good price. If you like it, or if it was me and i liked it i would want it repaired, new parts, the tyres match as a pair so 2 new not one.

@MikeTheThinker Jesting. She just guessed i was a big fat liar. She could not see i was.

I always copy in the Motor Group,s Directors in Emails, or send a copy by mail. & Anyone on their Website. Finance Director etc. I get the Company Directors names for the Company. Usually not that hard to find contact details. If it is these, then let them know. Sometimes they need reminded to check who they employ, and asked would they drive what is sold in their name. (When he was alive i asked Sir Arnold Clark if after all his years in the motor trade and doing charitable work was it right his company was selling heaps to young people that he would not expect his nearest and dearest to drive or be a passenger in. Silence came the reply from him, but the Dealership manager was quick in paying up and collecting the death trap.)

Cheeky bitch 'from BT' just called me a big fat liar when i told her where to go and i had no phone when she had just called the land line about the security. 17 years now since the gentleman they ask for last lived here. I had no idea she could actually see me in the kitchen, the web cam must be hidden.

Traffic Wardens in Angus now issuing tickets for parking on pavements, parking with a wheel or 2 on the pavement. Warning first for Blue Badge Holders, they are going lightly first. Blue badge holders should know better IMO. I was given a ticket a few years ago, Covid time. Parked on the one way street at the right hand pavement, drivers side, single yellow line. The Blue Badge was where the VED Disc would have been in the past. The Traffic Warden claimed, they do not go on the road to check the passenger side for H&S. I told him and sidekick that i watched them up the road where people were parked on the left, going to the drivers side to see there was no badge. I had to appeal to Liverpool. I won that appeal.

Clocks were issued by some Scottish Local Councils for many many years even though they were not applicable in Scotland. Maybe people would head across the Border. I got a clock 2 years ago with a badge renewal. But then different Scottish Councils charge different amounts for Badge Renewal.

Nicola Sturgeon MSP has every right to continue as a MSP. But if she is not fully representing her constituents by attending Holyrood when they are sitting or attending to constituency surgeries she should stand down IMO. She has postponed her appearance at Westminster's Scottish Affairs committee next week. She has asked for her evidence session on intergovernmental relations since devolution to be rescheduled. 'Things are 'Incredibly difficult' she said last week since her husband was charged. Well take a break, resign, stand down, collect your pension / transition money and maybe going caravanning or hire a motorhome. Maybe just do not leave the country to the holiday home as there might be questions next week that might need answering at a Police Station closer than where the Westminster Scottish Affairs Committee meet.

Make all communications in writing because really their word is not worth the paper / or screen time not written on. The Dealership knows exactly who purchases and takes in trade ins and inspects initially. Also how much they spend on car prep and then have that set against purchase price, sale price. You pay tax on profits. It is amazing how much the Prep can be charged for and done by 'Mr Magoo'. That is for oldies...
