On whether I can be bothered, on whether I'm working, that sort of thing.

It is usually the Friday of the May school half term (which should be the 30th).

I don't think we're all going to fit inside a Vauxhall :lol:

Although we may be able to break a new GWR - Most Tube Challengers inside a Vauxhall. Very much like Most People crammed in a Mini.

Holds some alternative challenge records. Not sure which ones.
