As for moaners, I find the worst are people who hate their job and spend most of their day moaning to everyone they work with (who don't want to be their either) how bad it is. It's like if I'm having a bad time then so is everyone else, but if you have to work with them you can just walk away. You know me so well VapingBad ... although I don't hate it, but I do moan a lot! And . . . . . people that return packs of butter, complaining that it's too buttery for them. Perpetua ... plus those that blame you 'personally' for the prices, out of stocks etc My personal hate are the people that believe the world owes them a living, and think that working is for the stupid, and play the system. Had a colleague that used to have a 'holiday planner' and a 'sickness planner' at home thus working about half the year, and they couldn't touch him... he said 'that's the game'... 'I'm entitled'

toots another mate of mine had a Triumph Vitesse, which at the time, was one of the faster cars around. It was all kitted out as a 'passion wagon' for him, although it did have an 'Esso Tiger' hanging from the mirror. None of us had more than a few years driving experience, but he used to scare the living daylights out of us when we were in the car. How did we survive?

Hope he comes back. Don't cut yourself off from a bunch of people you do get on with to avoid one or two you don't mate. That says it all. Why let one or two people ruin it for you and the rest of us who enjoy your company. That's where dictators come from, and they are not welcome!

Striker, I too have no idea as to what has gone on, but I've just one thing to say to you... If you are reading this, get your *** back on here pronto and your voice. Edit: Just seen Chrissie 's post regarding the 'Politics & Religion' group, where it must have kicked off... is it any wonder these subjects cause so many wars

Yes the popular Ford Cortina Mk 1, still remember the reg number 600FLF. Sold my Lambretta 125 and my Tiger Cub for to pay for it. That is weird, because I remember my first two cars reg nos, and even my HGV when I was driving back in the 70s, but can I remember any of them since, nope not even my current one which I've had for over 15 years. I guess it's because we don't love them like our first ones.

goneforagasper my Ford Pop was a little later than yours... then soon went for the 'sporty'... ...which is why I love watching 'Heartbeat' and their panda cars. Edit: These are stock photos, not my actual ones unfortunately. PS... My mate had the Cortina, which we managed to flip onto it's roof, just as Tony Blackburn was saying 'drive carefully out there' on the radio

*-SARIN-* just shows the class on here, lowest denominator... unfortunately, I'm at the bottom... but who cares! It's a good bottle as well, however, you won't after a few more babychams and lemonade. chin chin Again, out of left field, I used to drive past this most days, 40+ years ago, although then it was on top of the building In Shepton Mallet... The memories that some of these threads inspire is incredible.
