A question for car cleaners, I suspect @Drago is my best bet. How does one get rid of or disguise the scuffs on the inside of doors where people catch their foot on the door?

I've tried various interior cleaners over the years. None seem to work well.

White vinegar is amazing for removing marks and stains etc.
Try it on a small area first but it is excellent. It can be mixed with warm water and detergent but I always use it neat

Ride done.

I would use a heat gun, but I would advise you against doing the same.

When you have written in the past 'Noted for future reference', I foolishly thought little of it. I will not make that mistake again.
Respect.👊

As a retiree over here, and with lockdown and all that, a highlight is a trip to the local market. It's Durian season right now, and for those who are unfamiliar here's what you're missing:

Going topless is not compulsory, but of great benefit in the heat:

They're known locally as the 'king of fruits', and I'd have to agree - delicious!

Or ...
"... its odor is best described as pig-s**t, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock."
I'd supplement that list with rancid, over-ripe camembert. The smell is such that, even after you've long left the vicinity of the Durian, you cannot get the smell out of your olfactory system. Utterly vile.

I can see him now. Looking like Bob Cratchet with his little specs and scratchy pen. Everything in a little note book. Neat columns of course

He knows I love him and the world would be worse off without him.


Do you think that worked?

Oh sure it did. 👍

For the first time even I've joined Twatter. I've followed Rick wakeman, and now I'm bored with it.

I have just been informed that I am going out for another bike ride, Woodhall Spa and back down the cycle track which comes to about 20 miles, this will be my highest mileage day this year.

Morning walk done.
Slight change of plan and we walked up to the viewpoint at Mortehoe. Bit grey and blowy up there.
Not many people around on the lanes or on Woolacombe beach.
