South Shields looks exactly the same as the last time I was there, fooking windy!

Have they finished changing all the road signs to fibreglass now? I heard they had a problem with pikeys

Last time I was near South Shields, I got stuck in a Q for the Tyne tunnel, absolute nightmare.

Not quite had to get the mothers car out and jump it. going to take it off this evening and stick it on charge over night see if it just needs a good charge

[pauldeacs]

driving it would of given it as good a charge as a standard battery charger would

[magpie]

the green light is on in the view hole on the battery so i'd hoped it would still be good,
