My television has gone on the blinketty blink. I can get BBC2, and the HD channels but not ITV for Grace or BBC1 for Gentleman Jack.

Mine does that every now and again. An unplug, wait, and replug usually does the trick. And then a reinstallation of channels. Because Ive tried a reinstallation before the unplug-pluggery bit and and ended up with zero channels installed.

I fell in love with a Consul Classic today.

I wonder what they've put under the bonnet. 🤔

The DVLA have it down as 1340cc, but given they also have it down as grey in colour, I'd imagine the owner may have 'forgotten' to inform them of any engine swap as well. It may annoy the purists, but I do like a decently improved or uprated classic car.

Maybe its got Irish registration plates?

I tried the switch off and switch on again. ITV is now okay, will try the catch up mode tomorrow.

By the looks of it, today's commute will be in bright sunshine and almost no wind.

Must remember apartment viewing this evening...

Bit grey but warm and still by the sea.

No, it's on English plates.

There is a fairly good chance that car may have been scrapped if someone hadn't decided to customise it so at least it is still on the road. I sometimes think the obsessive purists forget that.

Plus people have modified things to suit their own needs or tastes since the beginning of time.

Mahoosive 4000 passenger germ infested cruise ship in the harbour.
Not going out today into the village as it will be ridiculous with superspreaders breathing on everything
