Good morning Bob, a day in bed won't do you any harm and before you know it, you'll be up and about. You have an iron constitution and nothing keeps you down for too long.

I hope it all works out for you Richard if you decide to go ahead with the Trafic. In Auto Trader it scores 5/5 in reliability and they said.......

"It comes with a pretty standard three-year, 100,000-mile warranty but the servicing intervals are a well-spread 25,000-miles or two years, which suggests Renault has built up plenty of confidence in the Trafic’s durability."

Its actually a 4 year warranty Phil, so if I decide to buy, after a year I can buy an extended warranty from the garage.

Yes, me. I also wipe the seat of a public bog with toilet paper and line it with with the paper too before seating myself on it. I've seen far too many use these facilities and then leave without washing their hands.

Great news then Phil relative to what could have been. Fingers crossed that all will be good in 6 months and beyond. Your posts on health matters given your extensive background in the field I think will be helpful and reassuring to many who read them. I for one think they are and I know that other members do too having read in some of the pm's to me of their gratitude for the help and advice you have given to them in private.
Thank you Steve, Pongos R Us....love it

Thank you for those thoughts and for the feedback, thank you very much

You will know this, but some won't. In some cultures, toilet paper is not available but in those circumstances, instead of a toilet seat, it is a case of a squat over a long drop in the toilet convenience and hope there is a shower attachment for douching the A..hole etc OMG!

Well that was a busy one! 6am trip to Lincolnshire to drop off a mates trailer that I borrowed to move a KV6, back home for a quick coffee then headed out to Ipswich with the dogs for a walk by the river Orwell.

All in all a rather nice day, although I’m flagging now..
