TomsFocus Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Just seen an interesting statistic on Richard Osman's House of Games. The question was - How many grey cars were registered in the UK in 2021? . . . I knew of at least one, the Mk4 Focus Vignale I bought. But the answer blew my suggestion of '10,000' out of the water. It was a whopping 400,000. A quarter of all cars registered in the UK that year were grey. 😮 There would have been one less if my chosen colour, Chrome Blue, hadn't been temporarily unavailable when I ordered! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unofix Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I do like that today despite having to ride in torrential rain and getting soaked, even on the inside of my leather jacket, the trusty steed passed it's MOT and with out any advisories 🎉🎉 - There was a comment made that the number plate could possibly be just a little too small 🤣 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzman600 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Oh? What steed do you have Unofix? I'm a biker of the halcyon era. 80's and 90's. Much less cars on the road. Less speed cameras. Cop cars slow as rubber duck. Because of my skillful daredevil riding style I was given the nickname MadVlad. Would I ride a bike nowadays? No effing chance. But I doff my cap to you for riding in these shytte days. 👍 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenFord Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I do like that a while back, I was successfully treated for Bowel Cancer, but now technology has advanced to the stage that I can get an annual screening kit posted to my home with a prepaid return envelope, so the hassle of a yearly visit to hospital is no longer needed... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It amazes me that we know people who won't do it because they don't like the idea of messing with poo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news that NI has caught up with England, thank goodness we have a National Health service 🤔 I get sent the kit every two years. What I don't like is they only get back to you if they detect a problem. I worry that the sample might get lost in the post and I'd never find out they hadn't received it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are part of the North East Screening Programme based in Gateshead (presume you will be also). So far we've always had a letter to say no follow up required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly an experience trying to catch it in some toilet roll for the first time...heavier than expected, and the amount of heat! 😧 I thought (perhaps wrongly!) that most older people would have had to deal with babies or pets at some point though, and would have been more able to manage it. I had to provide a sample for a different reason. But had the same experience as Unofix. Heard nothing back until I eventually contacted them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
