I waffle a lot about solar panels, think cyclists have a right to life and voted against Brexit. Ex-RAMC and now an ex-teacher due to developing me/cfs in 2023.

Absolutely. And don't mind those eurpeens, if they are waving their hands round like crazy or flashing you with their lights it's just them being friendly and saying hi! Oh, and If a policeman stops you, it's Ok to slip them a tenner and just drive off. Totally legit.
