i see dom rabb has been forced to resign..... he'll be missed

The occasional mispelling of his name was one of the things that irked Raab, with him demanding an apology from whoever the miscreant was. (There is a rumor that some Civil Servants would hold a competition to see how many 'a's they could slip into his name, before it was noticed. I think the record was 5. )

IMO he should have resigned on principle (being Foreign Minister at the time) after the fall of Kabul. But then we can't expect any of Government to do anything on principle, or even behave with integrity.

Because repairs to modern cars and vans require plugging in to diagnostic equipment no one can afford, followed by expensive replacement (never repair) of parts which are only designed to last 5 years before going pop, I predict a rise in demand for old motors which can be fixed with a big hammer.

I wouldn't mind one of the very earliest Transits, but prices have gone

There's a knacker here for a grand, you'll need a trailer to collect https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266223517079?

Used to work on Mk III Escorts. As my mate used to say they are just a horseless carriage, no technology at all. Fix any issue with a hammer, socket set and an arc welder.

Anything not working like the heater, ten minutes tops just to stick in another one. Scrapyard was full of them, no trouble getting any part for pennies (or less if you just chucked them over the fence to your mate waiting in the lane on the other side...But we won't go into that).

I trust your mate was wearing a hard hat, that could go bad very quickly
