Car hunt latest. I’ve just seen a car with - apparently - two different registration plates. Wouldn’t have been interested anyway but that’s an illustration of how fecking hard it is to find a budget motor these days.

That's a new one. Message from a dealer late last night cancelling a viewing this morning - unsure of car's status. I bloody give up.

I'm quite happy to pay my taxes. I don't want them cut if the price is even worse public services. I want a Government run with decency, honestly, humanity and integrity. I want contracts awarded fairly and transparently. I want long-term thinking and fair treatment for all.

Hello, I'm interested in the car. Can I view it at your home address please?

The seller doesn't want strangers coming to their house. Meet me at xxxx.

So, not your car then? Right-ho.

Software developers: STOP F***ING making your programs load as priority 1 (a clue, they're not) and interrupting other work. Also, STOP F***ING pop-ups when users are doing something asking if they've seen new features. We don't give a ****. Microsoft is worst by far at this.

Speeding is becoming an issue in Cornwall again. Pro tip: if your car doesn't have a Head Up Display, buy one of these add on units for c£20. You'll be amazed how little you have to look down at the dash afterwards. amazon.co.uk/AMHVMU-M22-Spe…

Inflation has halved! That's because nobody's got any sodding money after two years of stupidly high inflation so they can't buy things anyway as they're too bloody expensive. This government really does think we're all stupid.

Storm's on the way so popped a beef joint in the slow cooker with a splash of red wine. After two hours it's starting to smell amazing... fire built up so editorial assistant woof and I will be nice and cosy later...

Trying to find a used car being sold by a genuine private seller rather than a driveway trader or a scammer is mental. I reckon about half the cars on marketplaces are from either of those. Trading Standards really need to get stuck in here.
