Its going to cause much sniggering. We call the other beds 'scooby bed'. But if we call this 'RP bed' its going to confuse them know end. Have to think of another name. Big bed?

Pn I went to a next outlet this morning, they had surprisingly ( to me) lovely sofas at very reducedv prices, do you have outlets any where near you?

I don't think so.... a quick Google guesstimate shows that Street is closest. So, not worth a 130 mile round trip, perchance that they might have a sofa, that I like, at the right price

I'm trying to work out what might be embroidered on a dog bed. Clearly, if you had it specially embroidered for you, it could say anything. But, I did not get the idea this is a bespoke bed. So, maybe RP is called 'Dog'? Unlikely as it seems, that's the most logical solution.

Yes, people have their dogs names embroidered on them. It means if they cancel the order these luxury beds ( usually bought via Internet or catalogue) are less sellable, because people don't want to have a bed with someone else's dogs name on it. Me, I'm not so fussed. My dogs cannot read, and that's the only people who should be bothering what's written on a dog bed. Full price these beds are v. V. Expensive. Buying them with some other dog's name on them they are just expensive,

I'm such a cynic to link the Govt raising the terrorist threat level and the defection to UKIP

Edit: Home safely, oil light came on twice during the journey, car smells like burned oil...... and the M5 is a carp road - midday on a Friday it was stop start all the way from Exeter to Bristol, 75 miles took nearly 3 hours

Glad you're home OK.

Afraid the M5, especially south of Bristol, is like that every weekend during the school summer holidays.

Midday Friday on most roads will be carp.

I used to drive back Gloucester to Cornwall on Fridays, starting at 12-1pm. It's luck and timing.... you were unlucky - and met everybody who was there "to beat the rush"

My friend used to have a contract in Swindon in the mid 90s - at first she'd try to drive to mid-Cornwall at the end of the day. She gave up and used to then stay in Swindon overnight and get an early start on the Saturday morning as it'd take 6 hours to go Swindon to mid Cornwall on a Friday tea-time.

I thought Londoners/local to were used to heavy traffic and jams! What a whiner

That is what I thought - but Friday? we would have stayed all day and left after dinner but decided if we were going to break down it would be better done with plenty of daylight hours remaining....

The car is making a very odd noise when accelerating, have decided to solve the problem by closing the windows and turning the radio up....

Yes. Fridays too.

303 was busy very early this morning too, surprisingly so.

When it cleared a bit I discovered as well as weekend, commuting and holiday traffic, I'd hit the road at the same time as four laden hay trailers
