    :o I don't know Emerald, I saw it in the TV guide & went to set the planner to tape it, but it came up on the TV as Bancroft.
    Like you say I hope it does appear, had Timothy Spall in it too :)


    That was it I remember telling AJ how disappointed I was because I had been waiting all day for having a good programme to watch.

    Been shopping online for 2 front tyres.
    Did a bit of research
    http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/accessories-tyres/92873/all-season-tyre-test-20172018-results-by-category

    Checked prices for nearly all fitters etc.

    Best Price for my choice of Michelin was Kwik Fit, also says you can get free mobile fitting for 2 or more tyres.

    Best price per tyre by at least £10. also freebie winter care kit when ordered online
    https://www.kwik-fit.com/offers/michelin-winter-kit-offer and CB from Q 3.5%TCB 3.28%

    Still just about £100 each :eek: but as car is the newest I have ever had, I want to make sure I get th best I can.

    Hope this can help others who may be looking for tyres.

    Also you normally get your receipt in a wee booklet that sometimes has money off stuff in it. I know the staff at my local and have always had good service from them.

    Mind they don't charge extra for a certain type of air, my local KF did that a couple of years ago. :eek:

    I found Formula One cheapest for us last year, have you tried them?
    They are cheaper booking online than calling in and sometimes have discount codes on their website.

    Thanks for that, thought I didn't recognise the name.... Nearest centre 218 miles away :). Kwik fit a couple of pounds cheaper and then the CB and freebie.

    :) You & I know they are brilliant especially the Defea :D for compartments but I think TM is more upmarket than us :o

    (saying that I do own a leather Defea but have never used it.. )
