    I'll get a smaller car then.

    I hate the idea that a car parked outside is an indicator if I'm there/not. Kind of a security thing. No car = house empty. And, get the right garage, it's a space for other important stuff/things.

    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    The only time I ever parked in front of our house was when we lived on a road that had a gate (yes, I know, posh alert).

    Everywhere else we've always parked around the corner so nobody would know f we were there or not.

    The one time we owned a garage, the shared driveway was no narrow we'd struggle to get even a small car down it.

    Something odd happened - when I started the new thread, my post was number 9987. Now it's not!

    I'm guessing that someone is doing some post-post pruning before the thread gets locked?

    Must be, the number's dropped another couple since then.

    (This is #9949, will it stay that way?)

    Maybe those posts that appeared a while back that looked robot-generated have gone. Or maybe new-mew-bie has gone...

    ETA... Oh, just read about the pruning. That makes sense.
