  Yes. Partly because of family circumstances, but another part of me is being more circumspect about costs.
  
  Why?

  What's an asgo? Is it an anti social glass-box (behaviour) order, McNickle?
  I bet they're badges of honor where you come from.

  "Compared to last year, I'm using my car a LOT more, as I've had to get a new job which is a lot further away, and there's no practical alternative. I did investigate public transport, but that would take at least three changes and three hours each way. The hour and a quarter each way by car is simply the only option..."

  DI_W, This is the 21st century. We have a Hyundai. Like this, but not as many doors. (Assuming the link works.)

  Sorry, I just bought a second hand car after being without one for around four years. I had one for two years before that. Before that I didn't have one for over ten years.

  Don't use it much anyway but am driving more slowly, especially on the motorway. As, I notice, are plenty of others.

  Sandusky (in Ohio) sounds a bit like my name, too. It's not my real name, though. David. Poor Sandusky is stuck with its name. It can't change it like I can mine.
  
  Please don't think I'm impersonating Sandusky. I'm not. I'm not a town in Ohio, honestly.
  
  I hope that's clear.
  I'd hate to become a number. Although when you're around David, everyone, even those in Portmeirion, know who Number One is.

  I did just that thing, and was more explicit there. Although I was post-moderated - iPM seemed to have forgotten me, Eddie :-(

  I suppose a weak asgo is a threat of referral to mods. an asgo such a referral, and a strong asgo, a mod removal.
  
  This must be the people's thread because it doesn't have an official PM subject matter.

  I'd have thought a wee asgo would be a Naughty Behaviour Notice for a bad ventriloquist.

  Sandusky, Ohio 5, An asgo is something the police slapped on our car so that we couldn't use it. It was lifted yesterday.
  
  I will now be checking your posts verrrry carefully, Mr Pedant.

  fJd 15, The car we had before our Hyundai, a Citroen AX, was 16 years old when it died. Likewise the Volvo estate before it. We think the Russian petrol we bought in Poland killed it.

  I think you've hit the spot D_M.
  
  For what it's worth, I'd like to see an audience debate on iPM and it's purpose. I can't help feeling the programme's a bit lost at present.
  
  Not every week, but many, many, times the programme seems to have been on some sort of esoteric flight of fancy.
  
  If its' purpose really is that of a minority interest service provider then, the present scheduled slot is probably correct.
  
  I wonder?

  "Could a natural rhythm - which some experts believe we all possess - be a cure for a variety of health problems?
  Some certainly think so.
  Musician Simon Lee, from Kent, is called on to teach drumming to patients with problems ranging from addiction to autism, and learning difficulties to mental health issues"
