Took my Qashqai into the dealer this morning to have the camera/radar system replaced as there is a random fault causing the Emergency Lane Assist warning to come on. I pay for a courtesy car but why, oh why, do they give you a car with the low fuel warning light already on? I was going to do a couple of errands today but, instead, I'll sit tight until they tell me my car is ready then I'll return theirs with even less fuel in it

Can you move that to the groaner's thread, please?

Excellent, and quite amazing at the same time!

And I love the green DMU with reference to modernisation.

Thanks for posting!

I fail to see the porpoise of that question

Shunting horse in action:

(shunting horseboxes!).

Note that it's connected to the vehicles via a single chain and walks outside of the four-foot (i.e. not in-between the rails). This was if it stumbles it's less likely to get run over by the wagons being shunted.

Where's Dolphin Cove?

Couldn't believe my eyes last night - I came across a film about the goings on at a bowlo on French TV.
I don't know the title of the film but the name of the fictional (?) club was Dolphin Cove Bushrangers.

Regardless of the lingo, good to hear about your trip, Mick. You know I'm a fan of forum travelogues - I hope you salvage the missing pics and videos!

Quote from: port perran on Yesterday at 08:21:13 PMWhat I want to know regarding the Scottish dialect is that if a mouse is a moos, as in "there's a moos on the loos in the hoos" what is a moose called?

In my experience, it would be called a moose.

Or an Elk, if it's not in North America - over there of course, an Elk is a completely different animal.
