You're learning the wonderful British art of understating the obvious.

Brilliant Jaap. Glad all is well. I was wondering when you were en route back. I assumed you would be passing through!
You might want to keep the windows closed and the heater up....we're having a lovely British summer again! 8-) ;)

Jaap, excellent stuff. I've been enjoying reading your tales immensely even though perhaps not making many comments...

Are you going to see Paul whilst near Holyhead?

Aren't we just. You can tell as all forums dealing with aircon problems are very quiet :D

When did you last switch on yours?

The weather is not going to be too bad this week, according to Countryfile on the BBC...

Do they mean the rain will be good for watering crops?

Weather forecasts are useless beyond two days. But I do hope it cheers up. We're hoping Saturday is good.

The last time I had the air con on ....I cannot remember, I think the car insisted once a month back...and it was hot so needed it. What I do know is at the mo the automatic climate control has decreed it unessessary! :lol:

I only have aircon on one vehicle and it is the one with keep fit windows! All others require al fresco motoring to keep warm.

Maybe the aircon is stuck on full cold?

Driving from Folkstone to Holyhead was NOT a pleasure...incredible volumes of traffic you have in the UK! Llandudno was great to relax though, nice place. I can now report I haven't seen 1 XM in the UK, there was a few ones in France and 1 in the Netherlands. Won't count Germany and Belgium that seem to have scrapped all of them too.
Home today hopefully!
