I had a fair bit of work done a few months ago and used these sites....none of the work done on my house was carried out by anyone from there. I had personal recommendations but these guys were all busy as they're good and eventually I employed the 13th builder to come and look at the...

A few years ago my best friend moved into a house at the end of a cul-de-sac that has a cut through to the High Street next to the house. He has a shared drive with his neighbour and he soon found that people were constantly parking on their drive to nip through to the shops as it was pay...

I love a good typo.... I was behind a learner car the other day, from a reasonable sized local driving school and that had a decal sign on the back saying "Beware Sudden Breaking":D. I kept a look-out for their other cars and saw another one with the same message.....oh dear:oops: :$

Good video:plus1: Whenever I am on blues all I'm looking for is a gap the size of my vehicle, that's it. We always wince when we see people taking avoiding action like mounting kerbs. I thought about writing some dos and don'ts, but there are so many that I'd be here for ever! All I will say is...

My mother died of the same illness as Debbie Purdy back in the 80's when I was quite young. I too would support a living will so my loved ones don't have the same experience.

I commute by motorbike so never worry about traffic. I travel two different ways depending on weather/time of day as one is through the forest which involves greasy or icy roads and the possibility of hitting a deer, but it is 5 miles shorter than the alternative that is all motorway and dual...

Do what I do.....text her this just as you're leaving home - "I'm outside, where are you??"

Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves

It isn't just celebs who get this sort of treatment. I deal with about one person a month who has 12 or more points on their licence, funnily enough about half of them are lorry drivers. A friend of mine went to crown court about ten days ago to appeal his ban in the same circumstances as...

I doubt it....it's on most days!

As a kid I was all set to be a professional sportsman until geography got in the way. I ended up turning a part-time job as a teenager into quite a lucrative career then I took voluntary redundancy and decided to give policing a go..... I love the job 20 years later, just not a big fan of many...

Is this a good time to mention that I'll be off to work this afternoon and will quite probably be sat in a couple of places with a speed gun??;)

I do like the way the French just get on and deal with things their way, but I'm not in full agreement with them here. I think people should be free to wear what they want in public as long as they aren't exposing genitals etc. When anyone has an interaction with a public authority they should...

After dealing with the incident on Sunday of the consequences of inappropriate speed in a 30 I took a speed gun to the same spot yesterday. Everyone I dealt with (and there were many) was travelling over 55mph with two of them over 60. If I'm reading your views correctly I should be writing them...

Hmmmm..... after quite a few years of dealing with errant drivers and, more recently, with the deaths they cause I have to say that this sentence is about par for the course....as is his attitude. To give two very recent examples of the attitude of drivers following some carnage they caused:-...
