Run out of Zeros

I know on the occasions I've spoken to you on the phone, Bob, I'd never have guessed that you were originally from the West Midlands, the accent from which is highly distinctive as we know. You sound like a guy from the South. It's funny, some people never lose their original accent, whereas others, probably the majority, do. I've lived in Warwickshire since 2001, and didn't think I'd lost my Essex accent - but when I return home, they say my accent has changed, and I pronounce some words differently. As for the 11mph limit, no idea. There may be a perfectly logical reason for it, although this is the 21st century, so logic probably doesn't enter the equation. I'd suggest to @blakeyboy that he contact the relevant council, but I'm not sure there's any point.

Nothing explains why mutly and dick dastardly never win on whacky races though......

We've got a road nearby that's a 14mph limit. I believe it's done to make it more necessary to look at your actual speedo

My mistake - I used to live south of Birmingham and in my mental map I was travelling due north on the M5 (really, NE) and therefore north east on the M42 (really, due east). Just goes to show that mental maps can lead one astray! I stand by my Spinal Tap theory...

Glad to hear that, wish everything is smooth n alright, and replacement is fine👍.

U mean on the wife ? LOL
