Re: Medicine use by dates...

i won`t use creams on open wounds that`s past its date once opened , but first aid stuff , if its bad enough to need it , id rather take a chance than bleed a lot

Re: Buying a new(to me) car

depending on your budget , a hyundia or kia hybrid would be a good choice .
i only ever see them for mot or general servicing . i can`t say i"ve ever seen one with major mechanical work needing to be done . 75% of the local taxi`s are using one or the other .

Re: Roadless Landrover

Anything up to TD5 will be the one, TD5 and over and you are looking at difficult roadside repairs.200TDI would be the best bet for simplicity VS reliability. I run a 19J, its reliable (looked after) , easy to repair with minimal tools, Incredibly easy to diagnose and parts are cheap and plentiful,...

Re: Potential UK power failure

couldn`t agree more , i did the same thing for the same reasons . I’m drawn to having a generator but even with 150l of fuel, it would only buy you 3 or 4 days of power.
