It sort of comes with the territory, mums not only have eyes in the back of their heads, find out all secrets, but also have ears like uckin radars :laugh1 :laugh1 :laugh1

Once you become a mother you sort of inherit being nosey, ask discreet questions, learn how to listen and decipher lies, then you get those good old do-gooders and interfering busy bodies who just can't wait to tell you all sorts about your little cherub :shooter

So have they banned official press officers then? :grin2 I thought with the freedom of the press and all that, they couldn't stop them :laugh1 Still put some of those fireman who pretend to be press officers back in their real jobs eh:grin2

[rembrandt]

No just me and two of my boys, hubby works at BP driving tankers and little one works for an office supply company :laugh1 I don't think the brigade could cope with any more of us :grin2

[Jims]

Just to be an annoying person... I believe that RTA isn't allowed to be used anymore and it's RTC... =P

We have no further information relating to this incident.

that was early this morning

[Ride-or-die]

[auroredj]

Good Luck with that Ride Or Die (sorry can't remember your name) and just because we're so proud we thought we'd let you all know, Graeme (whippet) passed his class two licence to drive the appliance on Friday :clap:clap:clap God what mad bugger decided to let him loose in a fire engine I shall never know:grin2

[Ride-or-die]

thank you very much and its jason lol. tell him congratulations.

have you got any tips for me?

[Pants]

Dont run anyone over

Its just a big car

use your mirrors

Its an automatic so its really easy

The examiners are great fellas, if you fail its YOUR fault and not theirs

Hop that helps, the EFAD is one of the best courses I have done. Alot of the principals you can apply to riding the bike, it make you a better rider and you ride quicker, more safely. Unfortunately no insurance disscounts are given for the EFAD

Dont fail is always good advice :grin2

There is not much you can do to practice, just do a few basic sums (without a calculator), read the question! dont worry if he doesnt answer all the questions.

The odds are stacked against him there are thousands of aplicants per training squad, if he doesnt get in, try again, few get through the first time.
