    While I'm asking questions, do the Inner Hertfordshire NPs have any recommendations for parking near Luton airport? There is a thread but wondered if you knew of any secret MSE places :)

    I would question why petrol... how/where does he expect to buy and store this petrol - and how safe is that? And won't a regular electric/battery one be easier to use and better.

    For your DS I think it is up to you what you give not what he wants that should determine your choice.

    The more I think about it, the more I hate the idea of it.

    Once he has the petrol one I am sure there will be a bit of waste land he can hang around with his car, his mates, their cigerettes, their mini-motos etc......
    I think....

    I'm watching Phil Spencer, Secret Agent on E4 (I think). The house is horrid, horrid. Poky, dark and cluttered. The garden is oppressive and halfway down what appears to be a woodland cliff face, there is a derelict pigeon loft. Eurgh. At the beginning of the programme, the owners were telling us what a state it was in when they bought it!

    Just caught the end of it. It may be no longer dark and cluttered, but it's definitely still poky.
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Secret joyous feeling that hat I was doing tomorrow is cancelled because I put on sweats straight out of tumble dryer just now and they feel so comfy I can enjoy wearing slubby clothes all day tomorrow too. Shameful.


    Electricity people say yes.

    Bailiffs have made be a non nice person today. I thinks we might have just put pressure beyond the bearable on the marriage of the heating person.

    Sounds like 2 wins and one "somebody else's problem" to me.

    Hmm. I haven't necessarily finished dealing with other people though. :o. Strictly on buisness terms of course. But if We cannot get what's owed to us, then....meh, there problems become our problems for a while.

    That's the timing my Boss wanted. Told you we weren't nice, he's nicer than me. Next move is even less nice.

    because the petrol ones are more powerful and also you don't need to spend 15 hours charging the battery which then goes flat after 15 minutes, you can just tip some more petrol in and keep going (although battery technology may have moved on somewhat since I was 10!).
