    The Wilkie curse strikes again! My car failed it MOT. Not surprising – I have never had one pass. Ever. But it wasn’t too bad – a fractured rear spring and a compliance bush at the front.

Debs - don't get cold feet regards the MTV - I am sure with a little fine tuning we can make it the cultural vehicle that you so desire. We could do a cookery programme sponsored by Tescos.
