Please trim.


[I should add that I took it back to the main dealer for a service
(and

when appropriate, MOT test) every year on or near its birthday.

When it came back did it look like this?

And of course, it was continuously Road Taxed and insured.]

Did the 'road tax' disk look like this?

Needs a better insult here.

Not really a refutation; just nitpicking.

The phrase you were searching for was "Ask a silly question..."!

See you're slipping back into your old habits again.

Why do you do that? Why do you?

I have not been following this thread but I am guessing Nugents is trying to concentrate the discussion to the sub-atomic part of they argument they have not already lost. This could go on for weeks.

Breaking social distancing guidelines for one, assuming they aren't
housemates.

If I go for a drive from home to home for the purpose of
keeping the battery charged and the brakes rust free how does that
harm anyone.

Potential for an RTI (applies to the bikers too, more so) creating
avoidable pressure on health-care services.

I've been sticking the car on charge occasionally. because I'm not sure
how well the battery copes when the car is used for maybe one
short shopping trip every couple of weeks. Yes I'd rather do it by
bike, but I don't have a trailer to carry a boot-full of shopping.
That would be a good project, but I put my back out the other day so
I'm doing nothing physical until it settles down.
