    Examples of poor driving you have witnessed!

    Came across an accident on Friday lunchtime, a mk 4 golf had failed to make the turn at 449 lights into the estate opposite Castle golf course. Not sure how the car finished up there but it was on the wrong side of the road and had hit a vehicle waiting for the lights. To make matters worse...

    What I Did This Weekend - In Pictures!

    I have been fettling my dome clock today after it stopped last week. I have some clock oil and thought it might just need a bit of lubrication but on closer inspection there was a deposit of black oil on the escape mechanism so cleaned that at the same time. After running it without the...

    Petrol waxing.

    Perhaps try the higher grade petrol, the type with detergents in to keep engine internals clean. The amount used in a lawn mower would not cost a lot more to use than standard petrol.

    Mundane facts about your day...

    I might have to start cutting the grass again, the last time was about 8 weeks ago. I could get used to global warming.

    Aircraft noise

    I have not noticed a general increase in air traffic. The tow plane at Seighford has been a bit busier launching gliders and last week two gyrocopters flew over which was a rare sight. This morning it sounded like some military jets flew over. The only noisy aircraft I notice regularly is at...

    Bins!

    My bin day changed from Friday to Tuesday. I checked on the website to see if a last collection might be done on Friday but it was not shown as such so I did not put the bin out. Friday morning at 8:30 a bin wagon arrived and started emptying the green bins. :hmm: Except mine. :grr:
