Re: Car maintenance

I still say...how many cars with defered MO T.s are not fit to be on on the road ? Is this a greater risk than the virus ? How many drivers are just stressed up with this virus thing...We have enough problems without the visitors who are not on the road for 8 hours a day. We seem to be extra polite ...

Re: Coronavirus, how are you managing at home?

Netting over gold fish ponds solved a problem ..the seagull nests from the
