SWMBO will be with me, kicking and screaming about talking car rubbish especially about a car that she reckons doesn't like her, but then she does like passengering in the A8. She does drive herself on school and ASDA runs but tends to park in the quieter parts of the car park.
Sounds like a convert in progress …parking in the quiet part of car parks is a good initial sign

Everything keeps changing our end and I cant really keep but I think we are going.

Conquistador, any rooms left at that B&B?
Or can people list the places that's booked, saves me from phoning everyone I guess.
