Fill up your tank....

What a load of rubbish!
The Stratford road jammed at the point where there are two garages off a small roundabout as the good folk of Shirley take up the suggestion of DC & keep their tanks full.
The increase in tax on hot fast food - typified by the Cornish pasty - has been made much of.
Apparently, you would need to buy - not necessarily eat - 900 pasties to spend as much in increased "pasty tax" as you will have gained by the increase in personal allowance.

Anyway, we have fuel, although the Lotus will be back on the road in April & has an empty tank, & don't eat pasties, so life looks good.
Warks police is to be cut from 850 to 650 - I don't think that they reach as far as Coleshill as it is, so we may not notice.

Today I have cleaned the house from top to bottom, filled the front borders with  an array of brightly coloured polyanthus, washed & ironed three loads of washing. G has sorted his pensions & is sorting the carburetor from the mower, so, one man may go to mow, on Saturday.

I have caught up with  J & Th, having picked them up from school for the last two days; tonight we bought fish & chips from Meriden, on the way home.
Delicious.
