YAY......Brilliant. Right, I'm off to the pub for some festive cheer and a spring in my step. The Miracle of Christmas occurred....

I know it's not funny and I shouldn't laugh, and I'm sure you didn't, but :)) :)) :))


ETA: Glad it all had a happy ending, Willard.

Delighted with the outcome, a testament to persistence. And mathematics.


Sue, I imagine it wouldn't have been so funny had it not been a rental car that I was using for work. And the fact that two days later a very identifiable Hovis truck crashed into the same spot. So we let them fix it.

I think most people are nice and will do the right thing, even if it involves taking a bit of time.


It's just that we tend to hear about the ones who aren't nice and don't do the right thing.


And sometimes it's not that people are bad, it's that they are shy or in a hurry or don't want to interfere ...


Anyway, what a heartwarming start to Christmas with a story like the above :)

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon
