You might like to explain this to me too. At home, she does fuck all. Slight exaggeration, but not much. Tesco? Off you go G. Housework? Off you go G.

Stick her two feet outside a tent and she becomes a domestic Goddess. And if you didn't get it from that first line, she's the least domestic Goddess person in the world when a tent isn't involved.

There are times when I wish we lived permanently in a tent.

I nearly applied for a VSO in Mongolia for a tourism economic development job, just because of the yurt Then I met felix.

Hatchback. Leaving the Porsche at home.

OK. If there's only the two of you going, remove the rear seats, if you can. Don't just fold them down, take them out of the car and put them in the loft. Might require screwdrivers.

I even got a mechanic to remove the ISO-fix child safety seat rail thing from our car to increase and flatten the luggage space. Best £25 I ever spent.

Worth it just for the endorsement on the MOT certificate that the car is not suitable for carrying small children

Well, it's passed two MOTs since that was done, so I'm afraid you're talking pish. The rail is still up in the loft and can be easily refitted if I ever need it, which I won't.

I was extrapolating from how they can endorse MOT certificates with restrictions for classic cars with no lights or lights that don't meet current regulations, to say the vehicle must only be used in the hours of daylight.

 

[felix]

Oh I see. Are you saying my car's so old it can be considered a "classic"?

Maybe in a few years.

Ooh, sorry about that.

That was just a suggestion for you if you have luggage capacity issues, which we have. We tend to take a shitload of stuff in a small car, so anything you can do to maximise space is a big help. Why carry back seats & seatbelt fittings etc. if you're not going to use them? They just take up space, add weight, increase fuel consumption, and so on.
