No! The X3 and X13 go from Abingdon into Oxford. Along the way, they pass first the P+R, and then the pub a mile or two down the road, it's really not that difficult surely?

Have a map, with my scrawl painted over it.

While the P+R bus goes past the pub, it doesn't stop there.

We're off, we're off, roff in a motorcar. 90[*] down the motorway and we don't know where we are...

See people soon!

[*] That's in KM Mr Police Hofficer, honest. Besides, on the M1 I'll be lucky to hit 9kph in Friday rush hour!

Thank god for that. Had a bit of an issue today which almost meant I wasn't going to make this.

My car temperature guage light came on this morning on the way to work - which I thought was odd as i'd only topped up the water and anti-freeze last week. Luckily I had some water with me so I tipped it in and off I went. Thought i'd best drop it in to the garage this afternoon for a check just to be on the safe side.

It seems my coolant has been leaking into the sump causing the oil to emulsify. The probably suspect at the moment is a head gasket failure. So that means a rather large sum of money needs spending to get it fixed.

Luckily i'm in warranty so the repair is free, and better still the warranty covers the cost of a hire car whilst it's in for repair. So i've just picked up a Toyota Prius which i'll be using for the next week.

It'll be good to see you all again tomorrow. :)

Hope everyone has an ace weekend, especially Markie. :)

Sadly I won't be able to make it, someone for the love of YakYak drink a beer for me! :(

PVB: Hopefully the X3/X13 do stop at the P+R, otherwise I'll feel a bit of a knob (I'm almost certain they do, but I'm operating from memory). In the unlikely case I'm wrong, just start walking into town, and you'll soon enough come to a 'normal' bus stop, where they will definitely be stopping.

As far as i'm aware PVB isn't able to make it now - so it shouldn't matter to him hopefully.
