    Give your tyres an inspection cause some of the glass will stay in your tyre and just gets pushed deeper as the rubber wears down. Stay safe

    Touching base with your history is such a nobel endeavour Tim. Helps keeps us all grounded.

      Just the accident of birth.
      It's how we conduct ourselves as adults that defines us.

    I have every confidence in driving my 2019 Peugeot partner through a multi storey. In full employment now in automotive logistics. I never thought I would be offered a job again at 65.

      The elites were reckless with the safety of ordinary people back then.
      Not like now for example, when they make sure an injection is safe and effective before convincing the public to take it.

      It's sad that the best way to adapt was to leave Wales, as I did. I have tried to go back to stay many times but the grinding poverty drives me away.

    Nice video Tim and some interesting locations in this one. Your camera/phone really picks up the detail, that fly was crystal clear. Wow that car park ceiling was low, your solar panel was inches away from impending doom! Enjoying these and looking forward to the next video 👍

      The statement was true: Visiting where I used to live as a toddler evoked associated memories I had forgotten.
