I have often been heard to say that I saw the glory days of motoring and reports like that confirm me in my belief Kev! A break in a wire results in £700 worth of damage.... I'm glad I don't have to worry about these things.
Susan and I are hiring a car for a fortnight at the end of the month so we can both go visiting old friends. £700 will cover the hire and fuel for the fortnight and someone else can worry about the maintenance!

THIS caught my attention....

3 Hours ago.
President Donald Trump has complimented Liberian President Joseph Boakai on his English-speaking, during a meeting with several African leaders at the White House. Trump told Boakai he speaks "such good English", asking where he went to school. The visitor politely laughed, but did not mention that English is the official language of Liberia. Africa's oldest republic, Liberia was founded in 1822 by freed American slaves with the goal of resettling free black people in Africa.
Remind me how this jerk got to be president!

I bet the Liberian President can string a perfectly coherent sentence together as well.

See THIS latest piece of Trump's foreign policy......
A message from US President Donald Trump on Wednesday landed like a grenade in Brazil, bringing the relationship between the two countries to an all-time low. Trump pledged to impose tariffs on Brazil at a rate as high as 50%. He accused the country of "attacks" on US tech companies and of conducting a "witch hunt" against the far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro, a longstanding ally who is facing prosecution over his alleged role in a plot to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election. The move follows a fresh round of political sparring between Trump and the current Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. It further strained a relationship that was already tense. Trump had earlier threatened members of the BRICS group - of which Brazil is a part - with tariffs, accusing those countries of anti-American positions. The bloc includes India, Russia and China and has grown to include Iran. It was designed to counterbalance US influence in the world.

How cool my house stayed in the hot weather we are having despite the fact I roasted a chicken. There is much to be said for living in a terrace that has thick stone walls and one aspect facing North and not getting much direct sun.
