I was born in London but both my parents were Welsh as were their ancestors of countless generations. Am I likely to be deported to a place called Llandysul under a future administration?

Def. Not. Takes a good photo though. The summer with a hose pipe ban and hot sun. (The front is south facing) had left her looking bleached and dusty. A proper wash, Light T cut, and a proper waxing and looks the part again.

I have visions of them handing you a Lavazza coffee as you slide down the escape chute into a freezing cold Irish sea and shouting 'compensation' as you disapear into the drink.

Livie is the daily driver round here. That means she gets a tad neglected in the washing and polishing departnent. I put that to rights on Tuesday and now I feel guilty as she scrubs up really quite well.
Livie the Triumph 1300 after a spruce up.

I have the T shirt for that fault and it seemed to fit the symptoms. Glad to have been some help.

Excellent stuff Richard. Really pleased. As my late wife said. When plan A fails you still have 25 more letters to fall back on.

But carry on adding gadgetry and buying cars from China or Elon instead of going back to basics because it will all be fine.

I will remember that one. My very Welsh father had a saying. 'Treat as you find'. And my very Welsh mother had a saying. 'If you cannot say someting nice best not say it at all'. They grew up in the era of Mosley and Hitler and would be appalled by what we see going on today.

@parodypm.bsky.social arrived at Clacton last night on the paddle steamer Waverley. No welcome committee no, civic reception, not even an angry mob in primark balaclavas. Poor show all round. Just tumbleweed blowing through and a shut chip shop.

Brilliant day on the Waverley today. Down the Thames Estuary, into the North Sea then Southend and up the Blackwater to see Ross Revenge and then a coach back from Clacton. (No sign of Nige to greet us) Just dropped @janorak.bsky.social home after a fish and chip supper.
