I had a similar experience with a message about anti lock brakes failure on my current Peugeot. It went back in the main dealers quite a few times. They did eventually fix it saying they had done so with Peugeot on the phone as they ran checks. They said they had replaced a relay. I suspect they had fiddled the engine management computer to remove the message.
Sneaky!

In the old days they'd have cut the wire to the bulb but it was a computer generated message. Computers make everything harder,
So long and thanks for all the fish

Sitting listening to the rain pounding the caravan roof. 25mm since midnight. Weather station back home shows none there. Ventusky app shows we are set for rain for the rest of today and a good slice of tomorrow. And there was me taking the mickey of poor Mike a short time back. Karma Mike Karma.  :(
So long and thanks for all the fish

Busy morning! Tesco man arrived just as I was finishing a photo shoot so there was shopping all over the kitchen floor until the cleaner arrived to put it away. I was stepping over it and around it. Next week I have rebooked my slot to coincide with her being here.
Next Fedex man arrived to collect some packages for the USA. Then DHL man arrived to deliver a package FROM my shipper in the USA.

I was also expecting Parcel Farce with a package from France. I just checked the tracking and it said "delivered". It turns out he had simply dumped it on my doorstep and walked off without even knocking - a package worth 1500 euros! I have pictures of it on my camera and I feel a complaint coming on.

I have a back-to-front house with the front door up an alley. No one uses them because you cant get a vehicle up there. Everyone else parks out front and comes to the kitchen door at the side. Must have been a new driver.

The car's all packed. We're waiting for school finishing.
 Taking granddaughter to Bridlington, for the weekend. Last time, for this year.

She's only little. Hope she doesn't blow away!

Put weights in her pockets! Reminds me of a work colleague who only weighed 10 stone for about 5' 8" tall. I asked him what he did in strong winds. Answer 'I lean forward!'

She'd find her way back mate. ;)  Enjoy the Fish n chips and have a great day.

Had my first massage session for six months, with the masseuse really working on my stiff shoulder - much improved and much appreciated
Mike 👍👍

The shoulder really was getting to be a bit of a problem; driving more than about 10 miles became painful. If it ever becomes possible to go to places I used to, the nearest supermarket is 14 mile trip, my nearest relative 26, etc and the shoulder was deteriorating quite rapidly

Peri-arthritis: 2 very painful non-cortico-steroid injections into the shoulder a week apart, and been right as rain for a year since then.

I had arthritis in my right knee and I had 2 lots of cortisone injections in in 6 months apart. It has not returned. I was able to have them at the GP and she warned me it could be painful. I was waiting for her to do it and she had already done so. I think half of the battle is being relaxed about injections.

Now if someone wants to poke something in my eye its another matter. I have never had the nerve to touch my own eyeball.

Eyes! Noooo! My eye surgery was done under a GA after discussion with the surgeon. So was my cataract op. I couldn't have coped with being awake whilst my eye was being operated on.
