  3. The Grand Tour review – a deeply strange rejection of Jeremy Clarkson and the gang
    By Stuart Heritage

    The petrol hijinks show is getting a total reset – with a relatively unknown new set of presenters. Still, there are signs this trio might turn out to be revolutionarily provocative

  4. My sorry saga with mytyres is finally over.

    Placed an order for four tyres and fitting on 3/7. Cancelled in early August when they could not state where the tyres were (actually at a local fitter), could not state which fitters locally they had a contract with (the ones with the tyres had no contract) and could not offer any appointments with fitters.

    No customer service team or even any UK employees - only a useless AI chatbot. Eventually found some of their email addresses, so informed them of cancellation.

    10 day later they accepted the cancellation. A refund would be made "tomorrow". Another message said the same thing. A week later an email said they had processed the refund and it was now just down to my credit card provider. 5 days later the same message repeated, but no refund.

    Finally, today, 2 months after placing the order the refund is now in.

    Whatever you do, don't get tyres from mytyres.

  5. Charnock Richard Services on the M6 has done nothing today to lose its “Shittest Motorway Services” title.
    The direction sign for caravans is missing, and when you find the spaces, they are full of cars.
    I gave them a second chance. I shouldn’t have bothered. I drove through.
    Chester Services to the rescue!

  7. “Social media platforms face public ire after fatal crash involving teenagers filming themselves driving on wrong side.” TV programmes that glorify irresponsible driving like Top Gear and motor racing must also take some blame for unnecessary accidents. #Motoring #TopGear
