Allendale Brewery, and a very nice little watering hole Coffee and Kuriosities. Normally the ridiculous us of the "K" would annoy me so much I would boycott the business altogether, but really it was totally excellent, a real family start-up, and a gorgeous day to sit outside with our coffee and kake (and the kakes were excellent! home made by the mother of the owner!)

Re: Bargain Basement Motoring
Been nearly a couple of weeks since the BB Micra had a run out, so the thermos, teabags and instant coffee and a small bar of Lindt Salted Caramel Chocolate were packed and took it on a drive around the Northumberland Countryside. It wasn't the best of afternoons for weather, but at times the light was dramatic and the sky what you might describe as brooding, and a strong cold wind.

Re: Bargain Basement Motoring
BB Micra got its "from time to time" run out today down to the seaside and a £10 top up of fossil at Morrisons. With this contactless stuff, the pump very nearly refused as I transposed the last two digits on my pin twice hardly ever use it now.

Re: Bargain Basement Motoring
Hasn't happened to me but allegedly after 15 contactless payments you need to make a 'contact' payment to affirm that the card you are using is yours.

Re: Bargain Basement Motoring
That is a security procedure to limit fraudulent transactions (such as if your card was stolen). Waitrose, for their customer use handsets, will require a rescan every so often for the same reason (just in case a customer tries to get away without paying for something that they put into their basket without scanning).

Re: Bargain Basement Motoring
68,000? Barely run in
13 litres will see her good for many, many miles but i do hope it was not proper four-star... Her cat will not be happy if it was
Can you even still get proper leaded four star nowadays? The last garage I saw flogging it as a specialist fuel was around 2002...

Re: Bargain Basement Motoring
There are typically two 'ratings' of fuel; normal and 'performance' (which has a higher whatever count).
