Winter Fuel Allowance has been restored....we both got letters today telling us that we will receive £150 each towards are energy bills. Just need reversing our freedom pass to start from early morning... instead of from 0930hrs as it did during Covid.
Had our Covid and Flu jabs yesterday................booked up online and there where probably more than 80% of booking times available......we where more than 15 minutes early and we got done straight away.....I assume that's because of raising the age to 75 years old.
Very rare…. I looked it up…. Only about 6,000 ever made. I worked with a guy once who had a Jaguar E-Type as his weekend car rather than our rather boring company cars. I was always hoping for a ride so every Monday I’d ask “Been out in the E-Type Mel?” It’d be “No it looked like rain so I didn’t” but much more frequently, in fact all the time, it’d be “No, I’ve got the cylinder head off” or “no I’m re-lining the brakes”or…. You get the picture. I was only there for about 18 months (having sold and bought a house which we only occupied for 9 months) and I don’t think he drove the damn thing in all that time!
A neighbour up the road as a red E-Type......his garage looks like a mechanics dream area....but as you say....when he backs it out of the garage....(or does he just roll it out ?) or actually turn the engine on ? he has the bonnet up or the boot open.....and I must admit I've never seen it go beyond his drive ?
