When oil light comes on then it’s last chance saloon really.

On the dipstick there is usually a min mark and a max mark. Usually (but not always) the difference between min and max is 1 litre, most petrol stations sell the 1 litre top up size bottle.

Where does it go? Oil gets burnt away with the…[Read more]

Whether or not they attend will depend upon whether the whips tell them to and if not, whether they feel they’re needed. In this case I imagine most thought the bill uncontroversial and as such it’s passage was assured. For…[Read more]

Plenty evidence building through studies of trophy hunting to ‘fund’…[Read more]

We went to a casino with something like £20 between us (this was as far as I remember 1967 or 68). We came out that night with £110 each, which seemed a fortune at the time. So of course went back the next night… and lost it all. Y…[Read more]
