.... thanks for the 2 comments on my last posting, so it looks as though something is happening both at the Ramsgate Port and Richborough.
Sorry about my absence from the scene yesterday. Got a call from my daughter to pick up a car seat for my grandaughter. No problem, went over and picked it up, must keep within the bounds of the law. When my children were small, no problems they sat in the back with their favourite toys, blankets and pillows, five minnutes later all fast asleep until we arrived at our destination!
I got to her house with the required seat, stayed for lunch and then take Phoebe to school for her dad to collect on his return from work. Lunch eaten, seat attached, Phoebe and school books loaded. Vehicle won't start, just an ominous 'click'. As Phoebe said 'it's gone to sleep Grandad'. Phoned the breakdown assistance, one cup of tea and an hour later he arrived. Under the bonnet he can see a spark emanating from the starter motor cable. Tightens up the connection, 'brmm' no problem. Back into the house, phoned the school to apologise, another cup of tea. Phoned my local garage who kindly said they would check it out. Said my 'goodbyes' took my transport to the garage for had an oil and filter change at the same time as the 'checkover'. Went home and at 5.30 the garage phoned to day the motor was serviced and checked out OK. Day gone with not a lot accomplished but maybe the vehicle is 'better' now, only time will tell....

yes John.... I'm a sociologist 'people person' not a scientist. I do more damage these days by attempting to sort out the problem. The professionals are better at detecting and solving the problem, than me....we hope!
I'm doing Gatwick and the West Midlands next week, so we'll see.... I'll tell the blog if there were any problems!
