Hi Vernon
Thanks for that tip I have never heard of the daylight only license, I will see if I can tease another twelve months out of the optometrist. We can get free taxi rides from the council, but it is not s good as driving oneself
Cheers Des

Down here south of the border in Victoria we have none of that stuff.

No roadworthy also.
But with the pot holes in the roads it would make no difference anyway.

I did a driving test for my volunteer driving some years ago, no worries mate you are fine.

Hi John S
After your visit to the DR it must have stirred something up as in the Sunday Herald there was a two page spread about older people's balance and their falling over. In one picture they showed a soldier at Buckingham Palace standing there with his Busby on; hands behind his back as an example of not falling? at his age he wouldn't have been in the palace long if he kept falling over.
Another pic showed some elderly Chinese doing exercises, i couldn't read the small print so can't tell you how to walk Lol,
Didn't see any empty bottle laying around in the Chinese pic.

Des, falling over no problem.
It is the getting up that poses the main problem.
After a certain age the flexibility in the knees goes walkabouts then you have to crawl to some point where you can pull your self up.
But with ladders it is quite easy to all, just lookback.

In the 60's, one of my cousins was in the Coldstream guards, he told me that if anyone fell over during the Trooping the Colour that they would be put on a charge.
