I was pleased to be told yesterday that, after an uncomfortable colonoscopy, there was no sign of any cancer or other unwanted issues. I have a CT scan coming up in a couple of weeks that, hopefully, will confirm there is nothing to worry about and it’s just, basically, down to wear and tear due to age. All of this doesn’t cost me a penny, thanks to our wonderful National Health Service. For which I am eternally grateful. steve

I knew there was a link to a Rootes Group product from the wheel trims but couldn’t find the car. steve

Probably a scam. steve

I have suffered a whole day of sickly. sentimental Christmas films. If I see another Santa, elf, sleigh, reindeer, North Pole, schmaltzy “feel good moment” or fir tree, I will not be responsible for my actions. steve

All the best to everyone and here’s to a peaceful 2024. steve
