I tend not to watch the moving average because I don't want to have to drive in the boring manner required to keep the mpg value in the 40s.

It's true that smaller engines don't do so well when pushed hard. So what mpg were you getting? It’s true that smaller engines don’t do so well when pushed hard.

Ironically enough I'm more upset about the scratch on the door. The man appologised profusely for the prang and these things do happen, whereas the scratch was not appologised for and may have even been deliberate.

Not pleasing when your motor gets damaged, but you seem to have handled the "coming together" well. Eep, sorry to hear about that.

That said Cromer is a branch station which kind of makes it the end of a line (albeit a very short bit of line).

Many of them have road signs mounted on sturdy square wooden posts rather than metal posts to make them look more rustic and in keeping with the setting and a floral arrangement would be even more in keeping.

I was driving through Bavarian country roads today and remarked on how few 'drive carefully through the village' signs there were. There aren't even any proper speed limit signs either[1]. Just this seemingly unwritten rule that you go from 100km/h to 50 once you past the little traffic island with flowers on it and back to 100 when you pass the one on the other side. I kind of like the idea that a village should be introduced with a floral traffic island :-) [1] there are tiny yellow signs suggesting 100 if there isn't two-way traffic and 50 if there is, but I can't see a difference in the road. There even similar signs with a picture of a tank on. No idea what these mean. Funny you should mention this.
