Yup, the 18th - I've just forwarded the PM to you

Ta very much duck

I was just about to do that

Just been to pick up the hire car for the weekend - my parents are over

They gave me an automatic.... the girl said - you think you will be ok with that? I said sure - I'll be grand

Got into it..... ready to go - couldn't put the ******* thing into drive....

Had to go back inside and get someone to help me..... This is going to be a long weekend

You need to have your foot on the brake when changing

HTH

If you're taking them out and about, could you please avoid the East Midlands?

So I discovered..... it really freaks me out that it just moves of it's own accord - I kept reaching over to change gear

I'm driving them to Yorkshire tomorrow, to see family - Christ knows how that'll go with all them bloody big hills.

We've just had an auto as a courtesy car after someone crashed into me and BB1

Whatever you do, don't try and put your left foot on the clutch but hit the brake with it - it stops very very suddenly...

I'll have to tuck my left leg under the seat and sit on my left hand to stop me from doing something stupid

It's been a pleasant train journey so far - very unusual. It must be that since we've moved there's nicer people using this train.

A gent across from me just took a drink out of a bag, screwed up the bag, looked around for a bin, couldn't see one and instead of chucking the bag on the floor (which really annoys me) he opened up his rucksack and put the rubbish in that.

Then, a gent sat opposite me in a four seater bit, opened up his bag to reveal fish and chips! He then asked me if I minded if he ate them. Very polite

They smelt fantastic!

You should have asked him for a chip

It's funny how it throws you out. It confused the sequence that i'm used to -

Start engine
Foot on clutch
Into gear
Handbrake off
Drive away

So as soon as i didn't have to put foot on clutch, i was confused - i kept trying to drive away without releasing the handbrake!
