Thing, I presume you found it when it was the only car left in the car park?
Nope, just stumbled upon it in a place I would have never have said it was. It was about 400 yds away from where I thought I'd parked it and I just did a circular search. Took a long time though....

BEagle ... I'm sure you will agree that High Tea can only be served on fine bone china to be correct
I do not. While one may indeed take afternoon tea from bone china, itself a mere accessory, 'high' tea is a working class meal, presumably served in a 'sweaty clog' when Dad 'gets 'ome from 't mill'...

Regrettably, the lower orders from other nations do not understand the difference between afternoon tea and high tea, so certain London establishments now feel obliged to describe the afternoon event as 'high' tea for the benefit of foreign tourists. Quite appalling.....

Voices in GPS systems

Anybody downloaded other voices for their systems? I believe there is a website with voices such as Billy Conolley but I don't know how to go about it.

ps. If the French Police ever try to stop you, they will assume your gps includes speed camera data and will confiscate it and ask you to pay a fine. Instantly or at the nearest ATM. It is a difficult defence to say the function is switched off as they retreat from the previous position of speaking reasonable English.

One of the lads had an up load a Kevin bloody wilson Voice on his.

I would suspect though as it is more "blue" than having the ginger jock MTO as wagon commander the better half wouldn't appreciate it.

Did notice that on that self parking car clip that the car did'nt have to pick up a car park ticket or pay at a barrier.

And if the car gets bored in the car park does it go off for a drive on its own?

On a more serious note though I would not let the car go off on its own and out of sight. What if the system fails, how would you find your car if you did'nt know where it parked itself?

Gentleman's Relish!

Friday breakfast ritual ........

soft-boiled egg[s]
seasoned to taste
white bread
slightly salted butter
and Gentleman's Relish [GR] on the remaining bread.

Two mugs of tea.

Ready for anything.

[Was it Brize mess where the choices at 4PM tea included GR and Sandwich Spread? From the sublime to the ridiculous IMHO]

And, if you like your spread a little les salty, but slightly more fishy, you could try Poacher's Relish, by the same manufacturer.

Tea (excepting ice cold Southern sweet tea, of course!) is for when I'm sick and snuffly.

Fitting, perhaps...

Thanks. Being in Australia we don't have Waitrose but
just did a search on line and some places have the same
or similar.
If you are feeling homesick how a big jar of Marmite and a packet of Woodbines?
