The safety of our customers and colleagues remains paramount, and so all staff will continue to follow social distancing guidelines in the showroom and all cars will be fully sanitised and handed over in the safest way.


WALES has just STARTED another lockdown..


Not sure the garage are getting good value from their online agent

I got an email in the week saying 20 of the councils 31 libraries are now open..

I had to read it twice..

Thought it should say CLOSING

strange times.. stay safe everybody

The finger might be on the pulse, but a pulse can be found anywhere there's a blood vessel.

Been isolating due to possible 'Rona, test has come back do indeed have it...

Very much an Anticlimax, I get everyone experiences it differently but I've had heavier colds. If anything I thought it was side effects from the flu jab I had the other week.

Only give away was absolute lack of smell/taste without a blocked nose..did briefly have a temperature on Monday, the odd cough and that has been it.

We have our suspicions as to where we got it from...everyone at baby group my wife and son go got pinged on the app (14 days minus the number of days since she'd been to the group). One of the people there both turned in unseasonably light clothing...like they may have had a fever...didn't stick about and runs a care home. Cheers for that...

Comiserations Stephen

Hope it doesnt effect you all too badly

Thanks I think my wife had it first, son will have got it at same time so I'm last one to have it. We're all getting towards the end of our isolation periods now anyway.

Not that it'll make a difference given I'm back to work on Monday...self isolation during my annual leave very much my luck.

Different world nowadays eh
Our panda driver kept working through self.isolation.. just the same service


Heard an odd one recently..

People being contacted by 'track and trace'

Reel off a list of people who they 'might' have been in contact with..
As these aquaintances get £500 from the Government

I did have a small amount of breathing difficulty but seems to be on the mend.

If anything that was what made me get a test I went on the Cross trainer for an hour on Tuesday and still felt out of breath and light headed an hour and a half later.

Had Wednesday and Thursday off by which time my test had arrived but been back on last few days and not happened again.

If anything I'll find out 1st time I go for a run given I normally do six miles cross country twice a week though it's not the weather for it at the moment, no daylight.

That and I still slightly feel a little off in the evenings, felt cracking this morning when I woke up like I'd beaten it...flagging now a bit but I have been stuck in the house with a toddler all day who got up at 6:30 am so being knackered at this time isn't really that odd.

We'll see I guess, don't think I got the worst of it by any means felt mildly ill for a couple of days. Certainly went easier on me than glandular fever when I lost 2.5 stone and didn't fully recover for months.

i'm out of breath just eating dinner

Someone was at my work today filming for a TV program: thankfully, I don't think they got me, lol!

Hospital appointment this morning regarding my dodgey knee. I broke my left leg when I was 13 in the 60s a compound fracture of the tibia. I’ve had trouble ever since then, pain and bad structure, it’s really bad now and was hopeful of an operation with a new joint. Specialist is a good surgeon and is the best these parts.

Xrayed again and into the specialist office, I’ve been waiting a long time for this. My heart sank when he informed me, although an operation could be done, there’s a risk I could loose my leg......WHAT Seriously I had that feeling in my stomach. He was very supportive and said I have to give the facts, one in ten he said, well obviously no operation for me. He went on to explain that the blood vessels in the back of my leg which is bent back may rupture when pulling the tibia bone back.

Back home talking to my wife, I had time to reflect, I can still walk albeit with pain, I’m still getting about quite well, so I’m not completely stuffed, it was the words “may loose your leg” that freaked me.

Ach at least I know now.

They have to tell you the risks all of the risks even if they maybe small because if they don’t and something does go wrong then you could sue. They have to tell you so you can make that decision

Yep I know that. What’s worse here is my leg is the worst that the specialist has seen bent backwards and pulling back the bone would have a higher risk than usual in bursting the blood vessels, I’m not willing to take that chance at the moment. I’ll cope for now.

get so much pain in my leg i sometimes wish they would just cut it off. but then i remember the stories of people who still have the pain even when the limb is no longer there

My mother was given similar advice about a knee replacement operation. The joint was wrecked by a road accident and degenerated over about 10 years.


However, she had ongoing pain in the knee which made no sense as the old joint was gone. Detailed investigations discovered that she had no femoral arteries. Instead, she had a large bundle of vessels at the base of aorta that had supplied her lower body all of her life. The damage was probably caused by rheumatic fever when she was aged 4. We say that because she never had anything serious go wrong that could otherwise have done it.

Anyhow, her new knee op went well. The only issues were that it should have been done sooner (she was not enough of a complainer). She never got enough range of motion meaning she could no longer ride her bicycle.

The point? She had some serious complications which were unknown before the op was done but everything went normally. Her new knee would have been a lot more useful if she'd had it done before the old joint had got so badly damaged.

So suggest you take additional advice which you can compare with the horror story you have already been given. It may be that you have an arterial problem and that would mean the job is abnormally risky. But you may be just as good as anyone else and this is just the standard advice everyone gets.

This is USA but gives the typical risks

As for mother's ongoing knee pain? It turned out to be L4 to S1 nerve roots affecting the Common Fibula Nerve which run around the knee. Degenerative changes in her back meant she had to live with that.
