Hot ashes, why do you hoover the fire. I think you're supposed to blow air into the fire.

Unfortunate indeed, there is a website called the Darwin Awards which might put a smile on your face, worth look as it makes your troubles seem less severe.

Looks like more than 6Km over.

I don't understand the bit where it says the speed used is 91km/h ?

Neither do I, but it looks like you were doing 97Km/h in 80Km/h area.

How long after your “offence” did your ticket arrive? I put my hand up to speeding in a village at beginning of March, it was the only camera that was not painted over. I thought I was in a 70 k limit, but it was 50 k. We are heading back to France soon so I will have to get a neighbour to watch the post box.

Did cheer me up some, I've over the miserable morning now and smiling, thanks.

I think you're right!

As a previous white van man gas engineer, not paying for fuel for forty years, and only Sprinters getting past me, I am now Mr Ecconomy, I must of had a momentary relapse, I still averaged 35 mpg from Beni, and after clearing out the van on arrival home I think that I was overloaded some! Hey ho.
What a nice crowd in MHF.
