Notice there's no HJ Angry column on the site for this weekend. Is it because it is Leap Year Day or some other issue?

Calm down dear. It's still Saturday. The world won't end if HJ's a bit later than he used to be. Besides, don't you normally like to criticise some of his answers?

Is it just late then?

It looks like it. Who knows why - don't forget HJ lives mainly in the Far East, which has obviously suffered quite a great deal of problems of late as regards a certain illness. It might be that, or something completely different - maybe he didn't have enough correspondence to justify both a Telegraph column (which was published on 28th Feb) and here. I'm sure someone will make us aware soon.

The answer might be what I posted on last weeks agony column pt2

Other than that, he gave me the biggest laugh when he told the buyer of a new car who'd got a 7 grand discount then found there was no load area light to buy a torch when he complained.

But are most boot lamps just a low wattage bulb anyway?

I bought a multi led flat stick on light for my previous car that does the trick. £2.99 in home bargains.. others are available.

Surely if there is a list of things you want in a car you check the specs, and look in a showroom before buying?

Example. new car for me and swmbo

small wheels, high proffile tyres , tick yes.

manual handbrake, tick yes, Dab radio, tick yes,

manufacturer with a good reputation and long warranty, tick yes!

Non aspirated petrol engine, tick yes.

Space for a full size spare, tick YES!

Research research research.

Says he who complains the most!

I generally agree with HJ's comments especially about LFB with autos. I think he's wrong with his claims re hydrogen cars and point out the inaccuracies he makes about EVs.

Other than that, he gave me the biggest laugh when he told the buyer of a new car who'd got a 7 grand discount then found there was no load area light to buy a torch when he complained.

I rarely complain about HJ's ansers/responses, unlike some I could mention, who say I complain the most, but who then goes on to complain about HJ rather like they do on a weekly basis on the Agony column. It appears that as one didn't appear this weekend, you migrated back to the forum to keep your HJ complaints going.

The words pot, kettle and black spring to mind.

I do comment occasionally about some of the questions asked of HJ and of the comments by other users. I've really only complained about one (now former) site member, who was trolling me and a good number of others, which was entirely justified as they were not adhering to the site rules on conduct.
