BEags - more likely to land on Mars than drive down the Cogges Link Road. Will you be joining former SEngo 10 on your town council in the future?

Which SEngO might that be? Not 'Juan' K**g, is it?

No need now for a Cogges Link Road; the new Oxford Hill light-controlled junction makes exit in any direction very easy either from Stanton Harcourt Lane or from Madley Park. What is needed, however, is a proper 4-leg junction at Shores Green so that we don't need to drive through the town centre just to get to the westbound A40..

Plus your 'Carterton Thunderbolt' chugging merrily backwards and forwards to Oxford, of course!

BEagle -

Ref your post of 19 Dec. I've had that experience too. After she appeared with the bottle of gin, did you wake up?

Thanks, Westie - but it won't be after Jan 4 until hope will finally be lost. At the moment the communication routeing is via a NASA satellite and it could just be that Beagle won't talk to the Americans ! But on 4 Jan the Mars Express will be in the right orbit to relay any signals if the lander hasn't been damaged or stolen by Martians...

None of the Blue Oyster suggestions, thank you very much, you old rogue! How does it go? "Young man, when you're in a new town......."

Happy New Year
