Likewise from here. I won't be in Devon though, just enjoying (or enduring) the company of a daughter and family for a few days ... :-)

Yes a very Happy Christmas to all here at HJ and The Backroom.

Unfortunately my shifts have come round so i'm back to work on Boxing Day, staple food supplies direct to factory only stop on Christmas Day and even then some lorries will still be out, ie milk tankers.

Many thanks for starting this, Trilogy.

A very happy Christmas to all - preferably merry if you're not driving.

Three more services to play the organ for, then a rest on Christmas afternoon, then family and sundry grandchildren thereafter.

A very Merry Christmas to all contributors, past, present and future. I've only been an occasional poster during 2019, but this excellent forum with its rich vein of free motoring advice will always be on my radar.

Merry Christmas everyone! Only two more services (11:30 tonight and tomorrow morning) and then I get to have a rest and a break! Hope everyone is getting a decent break at some point over the next few days.

I’m hoping for some dry weather so the mx5 can come out to play with the roof down!

Merry Christmas all.

I’m hoping for some dry weather so the mx5 can come out to play with the roof down!

Today is only the second day in a week that we have seen the sun out in the morning, apart from that its been raining so good luck, ground is saturated as well so will take months to dry out

Not that you will be driving in the mud lol

Bright sunshine, clear blue sky and cold 3 deg C first thing and still here in Brittany France.

Did think about going out on the bike this morning but a bit cold for that!

The roads are deserted as the locals will have had their traditional 15 course Christmas eating and drinking marathon last night and spend today recovering before back to work tomorrow.

We just do the normal brit xmas lunch today, can't cope with all that food late at night!

So, a happy christmas to all on here, the posters, moderators and HJ himself!

Resist the Tierce de Picardies!

I think that means "the third of picardy"

Sorry? You've lost me there!

It's a major third chord at the end of a piece of music in a minor key. Having played O come, O come, Emmanuel, several times during Advent, I never resisted the Tierce de Picardie at the end of the final verse.

That title suggests that Jesus didn't drive an automatic....
