The recent snow got me thinking. What was the worst winter I have ever known? Now, I'm a relative youngster (b1966), so wouldn't know the winters of 46-7 or 62-3, but I do very well remember being stuck at boarding school in December 1981 in West Yorks and not being able to get home. Mum...

Wow. We have been living nearby since 1999, but I have been in Stockport or Manchester most of my life. The council have renovated the interior since you visited. In the Solar, they discovered a painted "tapestry" under some wall coverings and they renovated the pendant plaster ceiling in the...

Have you been?

Went for a walk at our local park today. The car had loads of snow on the bonnet. If there was an engine under there, it would have melted away... This picture wasn't from today...they are renovating the outside of the building, so it is clad in scaffolding and sheeting.

I say backwards as the Romans had some cracking ideas that went into disuse. My misunderstanding. It seems that preserving or reusing Roman buildings wasn't a thing way back when, so they were taken down to use the materials to construct new buildings.

Dark Ages because we went backwards, surely? The Romans demolished everything they built.

The middle lad's car is currently wearing Mich CC2s. He's looking forward to a bit of snow to test them out! As a matter of course, we have used all season tyres on all our cars since 2010. Most of them have been Mich CC, some of them Bridgestone Weather Control A005/ Evo. Both tyres have been...

He's shown himself up to be a bit of silly billy, then...

A good reviewer should be open minded and not show any bias. Which he has just done in spades. A very poor show.

Sadly, there is logic there. My few day old extra shiny valeted Octavia got keyed by a cyclist as I waited at lights. I was, understandably, king furious.

Time for some soothing body lotion...

That's one way to get your headlights clean.

The actual salt (sodium chloride) content of w-u-l is small, but many will steer away from it. SLS - Sodium Lauryl Sulphate - (or other foaming compounds) are used in many car shampoos, but can be a skin irritant. Like shampoos and soaps for human use, they remove oil and leave the skin dry...

I was told never to use w-u-l due to the salt content.

Mail on Sunday says that death rates in hybrids are three times those of petrol vehicles. Death rates in hybrids 'three times higher' than petrol cars But others are arguing the figures are flawed. What do you think?

My middle lad has a 2018 i30 estate albeit the 3 cylinder 1 litre petrol. Nice motor. The 3 cyl makes an odd noise, a little bit gruff, but it's a decent performer. The boot is humongous!

OOI, which Hyundai has she got?

Thanks again. If I wanted a PW that would also double as a decent path/ patio washer, would the K2 be enough, or would the K4 or 5 be more the right bit of kit?

Thanks both. Do either of those have an adjustable control on the lance?

Amazing finish. I have had very bad luck with our previous pressure washer and previous car. Took a strip of paint off the plastic boot grab (the rest of the car was fine, including the plastics), so I've been scared off using them. Could you tell me which pressure washer you use and whether...
