Typical program, Big Event looming, Panic its broken, will it be fixed?? Ohh its fixed, the day has been saved.
Then watching three men change a tyre valve, that was enough for me to call it a day!

Changing the subject but, remaining with TV. My brother has recently introduced me to a show out of New Zealand called Start Me Up. Basically two mates (Mod & Martin) go around the country and try to start cars that have been sitting for decades. Typically Mod needs to get a part and nips off to a guy he knows (or a friend of a friend). This journey leads to a brief showcasing of a garage or shop or unique car. That said, no drama, no goofballs, just a fun little diversion for about 1/2 an hour.
I have a VPN so can watch it here in the colonies and my brother can watch it on Amazon Prime - not sure about the UK but it is just fun.

I found it a very interesting program. The problems of changing a Harrier tyre valve were not obvious to me at all.
The cars were great and Brooklands is always worth a view. A very atmospheric place, especially when I visited in 1977 when the whole Byfleet banking was visible from the hill.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Very poor I won't be watching any more, Concorde will probably be going for scrap in another decade as so many museum aircraft that are left outside have gone.
