Lol. There must be something about airports - a few years back I did the same (literal bump) to Mike Tyson at Heathrow. He was tiny but the two man-mountains alongside him were somewhat intimidating....

Ok, you did ask. Apologies all for taking the thread off topic but here goes…
I’ve not worked north of the border for many years (hence the ‘historically’ comment), but the English and Scots...
You’re not wrong. That’s when 30+ years in the industry and a good memory comes in handy.
Of course Scots regs are a different kettle of fish again. All the fun of Warrants and historically...
Fire doors between house and integral garage has been a England building regs requirement for a very long time, as has needing a step down from house to garage floor levels. What did change more...
A couple that are perennially on my playlist;
Iron Maiden - Live after Death - I remember receiving this on cassette together with a Walkman one Christmas, probably not far off 40 years ago. Made...
Pug RCZ 2.0 diesel. Currently circa 52mpg but can get to 60 if I try, or low 40s if I really try...
That’s over a mix of dual carriageway and A roads. Very little urban crawling fortunately.
One thing I do with Evri/Hermes is to have the parcel sent to a collection point (Local co-op for me) which eliminates all the nonsense around parcels being left in bins/wrong door etc etc. It also...
My historical claim is that in 1710 an ancestor was the last Lord Mayor of London to attend the inauguration parade on horseback. The story is that he was so drunk he kept falling from his steed....
Governor Tarkin! I should have expected to find you holding Vader's sausage. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board.
I ran the 1.5 petrol in an Octavia for a couple of years (a 68 reg hatch) - it was far from gutless (150bhp ) and very economical so I wouldn’t rule it out without giving one a try. Prior to that I...
Have a google search for ‘HiFi hanger’. They sell through eBay but also have their own premises and website, and have some pretty interesting gear come through their books. I’ve no connection to them...
I’m currently running around in an old Peugeot RCZ, albeit the diesel version. Squeezing a full kiddie seat in the back for my youngest (a very small 10 yr old) was a bit too tight (headroom issues)...
Anneka Rice charging about in Lycra jumpsuits was ‘memorable’ in my youth, particularly with the cameraman in hot pursuit and focussed on a derričre in motion.

Perhaps slightly leftfield but how about a Vauxhall.....
VXR8.
Four Doors. Big Boot. Grunt. Sorted.
If pre-owned is an option then Vinted would be worth a look. A quick scan suggests there is a fair choice on there.
Is there any correlation between the areas of damp and the positioning of furniture against the wall? With the building having a short period of being unheated I’m wondering whether this could be a...
I feel for you. There really is no good answer to what’s best given your circumstance, and therein resides the big problem; it’s all very well making new builds perform to very high levels but they...
Correct, and the Government now appears totally serious about it. Much of what you say about new builds (for instance insulation at near passive house standards, halving air leakage, big changes in...
Would it be wrong to hope that Robbie Savage has a Timex Mickey Mouse?
Actually, Robbie and Garth Crooks could suit a matching pair...
I attended a most informative seminar on the upcoming changes to Building Regulations yesterday. There is going to be a step change in requirements , particularly for new build dwellings, next year,...
Excellent choice! I started with a ‘67 Sunbeam Stiletto. It was a bit of a rusty dog but great fun on back lanes. I recall the catch tray was missing so the twin Strombergs used to dribble fuel onto...
You could always look at a dry screedboard and UFH solution. Have a look at Fermacell to see a possible alternate approach to traditional wet screed. I have used this successfully in commercial...
Most of my dream garage have already been mentioned (288 Gto, Merc 300SL, zonda) but I would also want an Audi Sport Quattro in the stable, together with a Golf G60 Limited and the maddest road legal...
I’ve noticed ASDA fuel prices jumping recently too. I’m starting to wonder whether it has anything to do with the recent buyout deal that left ASDA in the ownership of the guys who also run Euro...
