    The way to get rid of these queues at petrol stations is to have a minimum charge of say £25, that way the idiots driving round who already have a 3/4 full tank don't decide to fill up.

    A41 blocked yesterday evening by people queuing for the petrol station.

    Silvercar for prime minister! :j :j

    Pn, my patents are also getting a flurry of interest from non proceedables. More interest in the last few weeks than since went on the market.

    This happened last year. Lots of unproceedables suddenly became proceedable with the spring bounce of fresh bottom of the chain buyers. older people's houses tend to be top of chainers, waiting for everyone else to become proceedable.

    Clearly it wasn't a spring bounce like previous years, but it definitely happened that chains were able to form from older viewings from fresh blood entering.

    First time i've talked about selling houses in months! I came to ask if anyone watched Panorama. It was gripping. Sad.

    No, I never know what's on the telly unless I stumble across it. And earlier I cooked some cheesy mash/beans and, with a full belly, I then fell asleep for 2 hours.

    It seems that every time I eat the equivalent of a plate of hot food I nod off for 2-3 hours. :(

    When I woke up I thought it was tomorrow morning, so I "got up" even though it was dark.... then realised it was still tonight.
