Not the '4th, or possibly even 6th/7th Emergency Service'??
Aire & Calder Navigation Canal (adjacent to 'Ramsdens Bridge')
'Stanley Ferry'
Stanley
Wakefield
The new bridge is locked 'closed' to canal traffic, whereas its predecessor was 'open' to canal traffic (as there was an adjacent footbridge (now closed); https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6493092

AFAIK alloy refurbs go for between £50-£100 each, the tyres come off, then are refitted, balanced & new valves, if the car needs new tyres, a set of used alloys might actually be a cheaper option with serviceable tyres on, I'm guessing new tyres will be about £70-£80 a corner, for something of decent quality, not cheap ditch finders

I've just insured (from Saturday) the 'free Corsa', (TPF&T/business cover/2 x drivers @ £140), as I kept forgetting to ask my mother to sign the V5 so we could send it back to Swansea
I'll tax it tomorrow, as I'd lose a month taxing it today (£35/year!!)

Was that a standard colour, or an extra cost option?

I’ve just looked at the insurance certificate, l can’t see that l’ve ever noticed the ‘Nurburgring clause’ on any of my previous policies!!
(I doubt in this case that a 1.0litre/3-cylinder Corsa would be any good around there (not in my hands anyway)

I wonder why they exlicitly specify the Nurburgring and Nordschleife?

Technically they're public roads iirc., I bet they got fed up arguing with idiots who crashed there.

They’re being fitted as l type
I arrived at 13:00, & was asked to reverse straight in to the bay
As of this moment (13:20) 3 are back on car, 4th is being balanced!!
EDIT @ 14:15
The paint needs touching up now, after removal of previous balance weights
I called at ASDA - Glasshoughton, on the way home

My dad had a Hatchback (B Reg I think) for many years, was a big improvement on the previous Austin Allegro Estate (the weird one that was only 3 doors
)Can't find a good pic of the Allegro but here's the Cavalier, we had this for 5/6 years until some wally drove into it and wrote it off.
