There's no pleasure in it anymore, I just keep a hold of mine because with the Ayathola's health problems I'm constantly running her up to the nearest emergency treatment center.All because you can't get an appointment at the local health center. It's not getting any better!

Not in Londonistan! Don't know why anyone would bother with a car there when you can get across the town on the underground in half the time, and for free if you have a veteran's Oyster card which that little twat Khan donated to us all!

Look up veteran's Oyster card on T'internet Jack, maybe on the TFL (Transport For London) website. It gives free tube, bus and overground train travel all over London and a few other places quite far out from the city. Easy application process, lasts 3 or 5 yrs and automatically renews. Big saving if you do any amount of moving around the city as we do when we visit.
