    Lol. Mine too. He's been in London five days a week since last year. I know plenty of other women in the same position. It would be nice to see them!

    The problem with white vans is in winter the owners go to work and warm them up on the driveway first. Once I had to endure my neighbour leaving the van running at 5.30am for 15 mins every morning. We moved as a result.
