Well today’s little trip was a success, bagged a very clean little Kangoo, petrol auto with 26000miles on it, they’re basic & horrible but if it means my mother can get my dad out of the house, it’ll do them both the world of good, better than being slumped in his chair all day long.
Was going to look at a very smart looking Fiat Doblo but sadly it sold before I got the chance.
I celebrated my success with an all day breakfast at the Arrow Farm near Barlborough just off the M1, t'were lovely

Glad you got sorted Col, as you say, it's there to serve a purpose.. As long as it does that then it's worthwhile.

Have you got a crystal ball and sell pegs on a horse & cart?

Lovely sunny morning here in Tewkesbury but very cold. Sun melting the ice on the cars.

Good morning all, how is everyone? 27C today, rains are returning at the weekend.

A couple of days ago, I was pulled over at a police & army roadblock on the motorway about an hour and a half drive from Nairobi. They were determined to get me on something. I was ready to go to the police station, pay the fine and then court in the morning, but the court is 50 miles from Nairobi. The police/army make it as difficult and inconvenient as possible.

The procedure is pay the fine. If you don’t have the money to pay the fine, the driving licence is confiscated, it’s a night in the cell with about 15 others, then go to court and argue the case and innocence. If the case is not proved, I would get my money back and licence.

If proved, the fine could be more or less depending on how many offences have been racked up. I heard the magistrates were in cahoots with the police, so losing the case was a certainty ......unless one has a lawyer.

The cop said they had me on the radar trap going over the limit. When I took my sunglasses off, he said “oh I see your old, let me try and help you”..... he was looking for a bribe. All the talk about the radar trap was flannel. Then he wanted to know if I was a Christian and could I give him a blessing in latin. That was a bit surreal, but I filmed it. The camera was running all of the time. He looked odd with blood shot eyes, greasy skin and giant teeth like tombstones.

I had it all on the dash cam what speed I was going and when I asked for his name and badge number, he pretended to be deaf. There was about 50 of them pulling cars, trucks and coaches, a money earner, a bad experience.
