What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Duncan Grimmond]

We regularly (ie ,daily) have cars parking on the pavement outside our front door, delivering/collecting children to and from the school opposite. Most of them could walk but it would seem 750 yards along a safe pavement is too far for their little legs. Often it would be impossible to get out of the door but as we rarely use it...
The road is only just 5200mm wide between kerb stones, probably enough for an ox cart and a pony and rap and when we moved here 35 years ago tractors were considerably smaller than the land traction engines which cannot get past a parked car without mounting the pavement. Window boxes have been destroyed!

I would be going out on drive it day but I have to prepare for an MoT which I had not noticed till I went to renew the tax, stupid boy!

Steve, don't take it personally, I was just pulling the string! I don't have a garage at home, I'm spoiled by the huge yard outside my workshop (but that's on an industrial park 8 miles away).
