"This idea that you can force out of their cars really is a joke. I've seen this in parts of Enfield before and it never works. Every flat has one, or these days often 2 or 3 for flat-shares, cars and they greatly increase the load…"

Zip-wiring for charity
Hi everyone,On the 21st April I'll be in my native Sunderland, zip-wiring off the roof of the Stadium of Light across the river Wear. Sober. It's for charity obviously, otherwise I might not have signed up for it! Monies raised will be split between the SAFC Foundation and St. Benedicts Hospice.ANY donations would be greatly appreciated, nothing is ever too small. If you're not in a position to give right now, then I totally understand. We've all been stung by the Gangster of the Exchequer…See More
