    Thank you, the result was. Gylfi Þórs second goal was very good. Now we want Watford to learn how to defend a two goal lead! I see the team losing in Holland and Czekk Republik. I wnt to go to Kasakstan but is very expensive.

    Glad to say that my car passed it's CT today. (MOT) The cost was &#8364;70 about £56 and lasts for two years. How does that compare these days for one in the UK?

    No sure, Frenchie. My last 2 cars have come with 3 years' free MOT once it became due.

    We don't have them in Jersey, but as jerzeypie is spending most of the year in England, he will be getting the MOT done. He is in the same situation as Frenchie as he had a CT done while he was at his Grandad during the summer.

    It was a historic day in Jersey today in that it was the first General Election, with in theory all the seats in the States were to be voted on plus there was a referendum as to whether the Connetables of the Parishes would continue to hold seats in the States. The reason I said in theory in the previous sentence was that in 11 of the 12 parishes, the sitting Connetable was re-elected unopposed.

    Took my car for it's MOT today. Would've cost £28.50 had it passed.

    Rather unfavourable when compared to Queensland - a RWC costs $72 (around £40) and you only need one when you try to sell a registered car.

    Does that mean that not all cars are registered?

    In a sense, yes. The RWC only applies if you wish to sell a registered car (or, come to think of it, you try to re-register a previously de-registered car). You can let a car's registration lapse and sell it unregistered - or, 'as is' as it's called - but that's normally an indication that there is a problem with it, or a fair amount of work required to get it roadworthy.

    If you wish to sell a car here you must provide a test certificate that is not more than six months old. The first UK tests were for ten years I think, but when that period was up there were so many wrecks driving around that they reduced it to 7? years. A test here now is done at a centre that is not allowed to do repairs and is full of high tech equipment and computers. You have to show a test certificate on the window screen along with an insurance one, although as we don't have traffic wardens going around checking up in these rural parts the only time it is checked is when the gendarmes pull people over for random paper checks.
