It's obviously quite a while since you bought any stamps... even a second class one costs over 100 times that now!Wow buy a postage stamp, they're always handy.

The only car I bought brand new was a 1973 Hillman Hunter 1500 ( 1488cc I think ) with an SU carburettor , a piston in the carb with an oil damper with a needle valve system . I had it for 3 years and it was great . Tahiti Blue also . I traded it for a Fiat 124 Sport Coupe 1800 twin cam which I wrote off totally within a month by speeding . I was broke then and bought a Dawes 5 speed Benelux geared racer. I was riding it to work in a deluge of rain at 7am on a freezing morning a few days after writing off the 124 Coupe when my old Hunter passed me by in a line of traffic . I spotted the reg WMI 458 . I was almost sick. The only cars I hated was an old yellow Austin Allegro and an even older Morris Marina. British Leyland at its worst , Friends asked me " how did you somersault the 124 ?" I answered by saying that Arthur was driving , not me ( Arthur Guinness ) It was crazy the way guys would drink 7 or 8 pints and then step into a car . Common practice then. We were mad !!

It was absolutely BONKERS, and we were mad too...It was crazy the way guys would drink 7 or 8 pints and then step into a car . Common practice then. We were mad !!
Back in the late 1970s I remember being in a pub in Coventry with pals when last orders was rung. We all got extra pints in. At the time last orders time was 22:30 in Coventry but 23:00 in Kenilworth, 6 miles down the road. Designated drunk driver declared that we should drink up and then go to Kenilworth for another couple. So there we were in Kenilworth at 22:50 with another 2 pints each, INCLUDING THE DRIVER...

It's too late for me to work out what that means!
Thinking about it, last orders would probably have been 22:20 in Coventry and 22:50 in Kenilworth, with drinking up time 10 minutes later.
I have just watched the first 3 episodes of Capitani on Netflix (at just under 30 minutes, episodes are only 2/3 to 1/2 the length of those in other shows). For some reason I couldn't get rid of the captions (as opposed to subtitles) so I was seeing a lot of [man mumbles], [phone rings] and so on. It turns out that my hearing is worse than I thought it was because half the time I couldn't actually hear the things being described. I mean, not even being aware of them, not just not being able to make them out clearly! I wondered how people always know to stop mid-sentence to answer their phones - they are actually vibrating and/or ringing...
The show is set in Luxembourg. I hadn't really ever thought about the place. Luxembourgish sounds like a strange mixture of French and German.
