    Easter Hols

    Yup the busses are empty cos the kids are off from school! Also less traffic in the mornings with mums driving 4x4s taking their kids. So anyone got any plans for the long weekend?

    Re: Easter Hols

    I love it when the kids are off, it takes me half the time to make my daily commute and my lovely mpg computer goes up by nearly 10mpg.

    plans... to go out and get sozzled
