    The motoring organisations have reported record call outs for flat batteries.

    my little car had this problem as I was using it for a trip to the supermarket once a week less than 3 miles return.  It then sat there until the next trip.

    thank god for jump leads.  It is flat again (but it is an old car) so we will be taking it out for a nice long drive in the glorious Dorset countryside but avoiding the coast

    The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.

    After a completely dead, as in 'couldn't ever be resurrected' :'( battery (on a rarely used less than 6 month old car several years ago) I invested in one of these. Can be used for a quick boost, or left overnight on a trickle charge. Has been worth every penny.

    Well at least it is warm and dry so queuing outside the supermarket will be a little more pleasant.
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)

    Well at least . . . Some new parents WFH will get to see their little ones' developmental milestones as they happen. Our twin granddaughters sat up unsupported today. 🙂🙂

    May I ask why you are copying and pasting other people's posts from the first page of threads and passing them off as yours?

    They've started back up.... Guess lockdown is over in India.
    On the bright side, gives me an opportunity to teach them some new words :o

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    Sounds mad, but I’ve not answered a cold call in ages, I so want to answer one and totally infuriate the fraudsters!
