I was talking to the guy at our local motorcycle workshop recently and he told me the bikes they sell are not covered under warranty if the owner uses supermarket fuel.

How could they prove the source?

I seem to recall Morrisons had a problem a couple of years back and had to pay lots of compensation for damaged engines - anyone else remember that?

I seem to recall something about it. However, I believe I have read at some time of similar problems with 'branded' fuel as well.

Apparently it is very easy for a refinery to prove the source so I guess if a company are trying to get out of paying a repair bill they will be happy to spend a few quid proving liability.

Found this on another forum and thought there is no more that I can add.

I saw some great parking when I went to the North Quay Retail Park this afternoon - 'two for the price of one' as far as pictures go - each taking up two parking spaces, one being a taxi.

Interesting spacing on the BMW number plate.

[boatbuilder]

Yes, I noticed that as well. I wonder what the significance of the plate is? Illegal as well.

My guess is that Hazel drives it.

[boatbuilder]

When I was going back to my car later, there was man who certainly didn't look like a Hazel getting into that car.

I was quite excited to see a Belle coach on Morecambe seafront this weekend. There was a Vintage festival on so I managed to get a few pictures which i must dig out.

If you are at a loose end and feeling a bit fed up and your only excitement is seeing a Belle's coach on Morecambe seafront this is for you. How would you like to play 'Happy Birthday' on your telephone keypad, you would, this is all you have to do press these numbers on your telephone;

112163
112196
11#9632
996353

Was that good or what, this kept me amused for all of 30 seconds, that worked out at three goes...maybe I should get out more.

Blimey Mel!! I dialed the first line with the receiver down which obviously didn't work so I pressed the speaker button which I should have done in the first place and after the first bit of the tune had finished I had a very loud and concerned operator asking me which service I required, Police , Fire, Ambulance or Coastguard. I quickly put the phone down before I had all the services arrive at my door!

[boatbuilder]

Oh dear Frankie. Yes, 112 is a valid emergency number in the UK. I hope there's no blue lights flashing outside your house later.

Told you it was exciting, the policemen, firemen and paramedics were quite angry at first when they arrived at mine but the wife gave them a slice of cake and a cup of tea and they left without taking matters any further...she used the husband is a little soft in the head excuse and it seemed to have worked

I agree with what you said in your original post on the subject, Mel. You need to get out more! Then again, I thought you were ALWAYS out as you seem to be here, there and everywhere taking your pictures.

Only when 'they' let me Boatbuilder, only when 'they' let me....
