Cup Of Coffee

Things are changing rapidly. Last night I was watching an episode of “Traffic Cops” filmed in 2009. They drove past a petrol station where the fuel was £1.09 a litre. Two years later and it’s now £1.40 a litre. Take an average car with a 70 litre tank. In 2009 it would have cost you [...]

I moan about stuff sometimes. Those magazines that get advertised with free gifts or things you have to build… I don’t like them. You may have seen them.
