I'm sure it will wash off though. Here is the boot of the car. The spare tyre is still there in its original case. I've never opened it so I don't know if the tyre inside is new A view of the inside. Pretty standard I think. It's all there apart from the radio which has been panelled over.

You tie 2 plastic toy golf balls together with fishing wire (about 10ft long). Then you can smack 1 ball but it doesn't go very far because the other ball holds it back.

I still haven't worked out why but it seemed like there were several million cars parked on my drive. So I parked around the corner instead. There was a bit of a gathering going on.

They went for a week and their accomodation was "allocated on arrival". They were hoping for a nice quiet resort but they instead got posted to an 18-30s resort.

There's nothing worse than a whole street that never speaks to it's neighbours. Our street is fun. Here's Martin (2 doors down) trying to kick start a motorbike.
