Loo at Waterloo (Sorry !)
I notice that the public loos at Waterloo now charge 30p (sorry again !) a visit. If you would rather spend 5 minutes than 30p, go up the escalator, across the bridge to Waterloo East. On platforms B & C there are Ladies and Gents which are free. The Gents are reasonable and my daughter tells me that the Ladies are OK too.

Selling a scooter
My son bought a brand new scooter when he was 17 and now wants to sell it as he is buying a car. Having never sold a scooter before I have a couple of questions - if someone wants to test drive (ride) it how do we know they're insured to do so?

Glow plug warning light- Kia Sedona
Had problems with this a few times with the wire breaking. You get a flashing curly wire on the dashboard. What exactly is not working if this is flashing?
