I have just received a letter from Bristol Council advising me my Jaguar Reg was identified as being in their CAZ and that from 28th November I will subject to a fine for doing so. Now this is all well and good but I wasn't within 100 miles of Bristol on that day 🤯. When I called the support number I was told to ignore it as some of the ANPR cameras aren't recording correctly 🤯🤯🤯. Now my plate is a XK specific 5 digit number so can't imagine it's been cloned. The same firm, probably Serco, are also doing Birmingham and no doubt a town near you soon. Can you imagine the distress this could cause after the 28th in being issued a false notice? Motoring in this country is getting grimmer by the day. 😕

I think Bernard that hopefully people in the West are beginning to wake up and smell the chop-suey. Fascinating how devotion to the new religion of climate change is bankrupting the West with the consumption of "green energy" products made in China who are opening coal fired power stations daily. We need to redefine the definition of insanity.

I am more concerned with their manufacturing hold on pharmaceutical 🤯

Well they already own, London (Black cabs) Taxis, Volvo, Lotus, so who knows? Oh, and Sunseeker boats 😱

I refer my honourable friend to a response I gave to Bernard some hours ago. I also know John being of certain vintage you will recall those Japanese motorcycles imported in the 1960's and then cars and impact on the UK manufacturing base 🍻

Car or pony? Do tell 😊

Heathen 🤯 Car or pony? Do tell 😊

Chris sounds rather combative this morning 😊, wonder if he had three Shredded Wheat for breakfast 🤔😂

Yes Bernard but you are buying the hangman's noose with which they will eventually hang you. 🙁

Brilliant 👍worthy successor to the mini moke?

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose Looking back at the traction avant with the vertical windscreen and minimalist interior maybe not so avant-garde after all 😎

Socrates also commented, "The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.” A far cry from Spartas mothers whose mantra was simple - Before you or on it. 😐

Ed I am minded of the 7th Earl of Shaftesbury who in 1843 wrote, We are bringing forth a fearful multitude of untutored savages… [boys] with dogs at their heels and other evidence of dissolute habits…[girls who] drive coal-carts, ride astride upon horses, drink, swear, fight, smoke, whistle, and care for nobody…the morals of children are tenfold worse than formerly.” Twas ever thus 😎

Super insight John thanks

Yes Len, I am aware of this but I was specifically looking for someone like Nick, Mr loophole, Freeman. Actually that's a thought he may know someone 🤔

I am looking for recommendations for a legal beagle who knows about automotive issues, ie supplier & customer warranty disagreements. It's for a friend of mine and relates to a used MB recently purchased. Any steers gratefully received 👍

Vile people, tawdry processes, clearly illegal 😒

Can't agree John, England is the most spied upon nation on Earth more than Russia can you believe? Like taxation, how much more do you want or willing to stand? 🤔

Awful just awful Vlad. Oddly enough that's just about what happened here with parking here, and we know how that turned out 😎

When the other Lord Byron wrote, "You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her. Never underestimate the power of love. The way to love anything is to realize it may be lost. The heart has its reasons that reason does not know at all. Music is love in search of a word. There is pleasure in the pathless woods; there is a rapture on the lonely shore; There is society, where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar" I don't suppose for one second he was thinking of the joy turning up a bass speaker so loud it rattled doors of any kind 😂

John, I not only agree with myself but talk to myself initially to form the argument, works for me 😅. Unlike the two Greeks when shipwrecked on a deserted island formed three political parties 🤣

Couldn’t agree more Dan. Maybe it should be on the NHS for people with anger management issues or feeling "wound up" like a clock 🤔😎

The RX is made for listening to a Mozart clarinet or flute concerto as you waft along - try it 😎

Good advice Malc 👍
