As it says in the signature Tim  Cheapish shopping trolley. When the New Co. starts in April I'm likely to have to visit customer sites on occasions. The greater the difference between mileage and running costs (in my favour) has to be considered. Plus, my knees are having trouble with the Coupe (not with Morgan, so it must be a roof issue and long doors in narrow parking bays) and the blue oval is a 5 door - think mini-mpv or tall(er) Fiesta. Shorter doors mean being able to open the door wider.

I find it difficult to read the sundial with the car moving.  Just move the body by 30 degrees on the chassis - Sundial problem solved.

Yes - early start for Curborough - but hopefully the track should be dry. Will be trying out my sparkly new wheels and tyres.

Don't forget... Daylight saving time 2017 in United Kingdom will begin at 01:00 on Sunday, 26 March....... It ends at 02:00 on Sunday, 29 October 6 months of light evenings!! 6 Months of a reason to pop out in the Mog, just because you can...  Isn't it 7 months? I also think it's a bit unfair making us wait an extra month for the light evenings. The clocks go back at the end of October, 2 months before the Winter Solstice, but we have until 3 months after the Solstice before they are put forward.

That's probably to take account of dark mornings. It's only been light at ten to six for a couple of weeks or so and next week it'll be dark again for a few days.

How do the Dickie Birds know how to start their Morning Chorus an hour later? It boggles the mind

Since we keep chickens, our getting up/going to bed times are driven more by the sun than the clock, so it was nice this morning to be able to have a lie-in until nearly 7 before letting the hens out.

At this time of year, spare a thought for all the tireless volunteers who have to shift the stones forward an hour at all our ancient sites.  (Original Tweet here.)

I find it difficult to read the sundial with the car moving. Ray, do you drive round in circles so the sundial changes the hour? Forwards in spring and in reverse in autumn?
