I am making a pledge to myself and the environment. From next week, I’m going to walk to work at least two times a week. I hope to increase this pledge to 4 times a week at some stage, but am easing myself in gently. There are two reasons for my decision to walk, firstly [...]
Whilst I was up in London, one evening I heard quite a number of ambulances go passed the hotel I was staying in and I decided to capture on video how frequently they were going passed, however as soon as I got my camera, needless to say there wasn’t a single ambulance! Instead I filmed [...]
Why is it that when there is a red light a good proportion of cars don’t pull up to the white line? Instead they stop about 5 miles away from the line and gradually move closer to the line at ½ mile per hour? Silly Silly People!!!

Today, my car has gone in for Servicing and its MOT! I have been very impressed with my local dealer, they have always given me a very good service and very reasonably priced. They have and are continuing to keep my service – especially as now my MOTs are free! I’ve been learning more about [...]
It seems like the end of a very long week. In fact it wasn’t a particularly long week, it just felt like that towards the end of the week. It’s strange how sometimes work seems to travel quickly and then at others it seems to last an eternity. One of my colleagues has been away [...]
