Re; my recent tweet... the word I meant to type was 'clocks', and not the word that actually appeared in my tweet.
My sincerest apologies to those who were shocked or offended by my previous message, which was meant to be helpful. I was in a queue waiting for my takeaway meal.

Thirty years ago, a children's TV gameshow changed my life. I'm honoured and humbled that GET YOUR OWN BACK! is still fondly thought of, and watched by young and old, thanks to the BBC and youtube.

After spending 10 hours and 40 minutes of yesterday making the walk to see Her Majesty The Queen, my family, and queue family got to pay our respects to her in the hall a little after 1am this morning. We bowed our heads, we curtsyed, we nodded - I think I did all three!

After much thought and careful consideration, I have have decided NOT to take down my typo-ladened tweets (of which there are many), so that future generations may look upon them.
I endeavour to keep a watchful eye on my text, and look before I tweet.

If you were directed off the south part of the M25 to a flooded road on the way into Kent, and there was a black bloke in a Toyota warning all drivers the road was flooded, I hope I helped. I wish those involved a safe journey. I drove in and reversed in waist-high water!

Feeler Guages, definitely. Used to get the right size gap on a spark plug so the spark ignites the fuel. A goldilocks tool really. Depending on your car's technical maual, too close or too far may result in your fuel not igniting properly, the gap has to be 'just right'.

As I walked into my local Tesco's to do some shopping, I handed an empty shopping basket to a young lady behind me.. good manners, I thought. She looked shocked as I tried to hand her the basket. She didn't take it. It was awkward.
