Ian Frog Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Sorry to hear that and I am sure it could have been worse but it don`t feel that way at the moment. I would suggest a good drink and a book/film (Delete for personal prefference) and hopefully it will look better in the morning. Cheers Ian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Passed its MOT, informed the front pads have around 2-2.5mm remaining. When I got home I measured the discs, and they are also boarderline for replacing. So just need to find the best place to get them from.

I regularly just turn left or right to see where I end up, have found some cracking places and great roads. There are a few that are roads less travelled for a reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy sugger Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 The only reason I would ever go into a Mcdonalds' is if I need the loo, and I carry a nhs card so they can't really refuse me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onesea Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Mc Donald's I will happily eat on motorways and hot days. They don't put the process up excessively. There McFlurries and milk shakes are a guilty pleasure. I like the bank of screens, means I don't have to wait whilst kids and parents discuss what delights they are allowed to eat.

I couldn't agree more . Love the touch screens and a Banana Milkshake is just perfect on a hot day . Table service , air conditioning , WiFi and phone charging . What's not to like about that ?

MikeHorton Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I must admit mcD do a good coffee and cheap too as said mcflurries are a guilty pleasure. If you shop at Aldi you can easily recreate a breakfast muffin with the sausage patties they sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickly Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Went for a bimble & stumbled across a small car show in the middle of Kings Heath ( I was on the way to J&S who have relocated to there ) It had a live R&R combo who were pretty good so I got a coffee looked at the shiny stuff and enjoyed the vibe for about an hour. Here are some pic’s I know they’re cars but this is some stuff I liked. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
