    Trouble with Screenwash Nozzles

    My Seat Leon had a nozzle that blocked regularly until I took it off and soaked it in hot soapy water then also put it in the dishwasher. Has worked perfectly ever since

    Northern to Dumfries

    A few years ago, maybe around 2017 I saw a Northern 142 passing Auchinleck. I'm guessing it was heading to Kilmarnock for overhaul so they definitely weren't banned.

    Car driver assist tech, safety and where such things might go

    I had a 2017 Golf GTD with adaptive cruise and I liked it. It worked smoothly and was great on long motorway journeys not needing to turn cruise off and on. Especially good though average speed sections of roadworks or on long sections of average speed cameras like the A9. My current car just...

    Local radio stations

    East Kilbride/Barrhead electrification updates

    Local Facebook pages are all having a good moan about this. 14 months does seem a bit excessive to replace this bridge. I'd imagine Burnfield Road bridge will be next. Another arch bridge. Hopefully Fenwick Road bridge will be ok as this really would be a traffic nightmare.

    Trivia: Retail/food chains that don’t cover the entire UK

    Until about 5 years ago there was one in Giffnock (South Glasgow) which is now Lidl. 1674407040 Pretty sure TJ Hughes was in the old C & A store in Trongate. Lewis's store became Debenhams.

    Ken Bruce Quits BBC Radio 2

    I do think that Radio 2 did need to modernise a bit and Steve Wright going was a good thing but i do like Ken and he kept me company when I was working from home. I will probably still listen for popmaster. Sometimes though things need a refresh. I actually like Scott Mills and the music he is...

    Your experience of Jury Service

    Indeed. The whole court process is ridiculously inefficient and must waste huge amounts of public money whilst lining the pockets of defence solicitors.

    Your experience of Jury Service

    I've been called up 4 times. Only once got as far as the courtroom then wasn't actually picked. Been sent away twice after being told cases had been postponed and jury not required. Got excused once after my boss wrote a letter to get me out of it due to work commitments. Such an inefficient...

    Renewing driving licenses

    Quick and easy at post office. I went on a Saturday morning and had a new licence arrive 3 days later. You can also renew online if you have a valid passport as they use the photo from it. Only reason I didn't was my passport expired last year. Didn't see much point in renewing it yet.
