You’ll start hitting the brake to slow down. Before you come to a complete stop, your clutch will need to be pressed down to prevent the car from stalling.

(If the car is in gear and the engine is running, there needs to be movement. Pressing the clutch gets around this.

People, me as well, tend to drive with the clutch pressed down as they slow down, then progressively tap the brake until they come to a stop. After that, you put the car in neutral (so, out of gear) before you release the clutch.)

Is that both at the same time, or one after the other?

I didn’t like that bit at all

I noticed

In case I forget to say it next time, here’s a reminder: “To get the car to stop, press the brake down and the clutch all the way down.”

Bring your MI5 player with you today and I’ll set to work on it.

It’s okay, I got so fed up of a patronising voice telling me that lundi was the day of the moon, on the bus home I remembered that there is actually a menu feature and managed to change the setting from repeat to normal Though how it ended up on repeat in the first place I can’t imagine!

In all seriousness, that’s not very much. You could probably stand to flesh out a little bit anyway

Well, it’s going up a dress size which would mean having to buy new jeans if it continued as a permanent state. I’ve stopped eating all that chocolate now anyway, it’s not healthy.

Oooh chocolate – Rackhams in Birmingham had a new delivery of RitterSport. Mom went in on Tuesday and bought the only two bars of peppermint…and ate most of them herself Well, I got a couple of squares! If we end up in Brum today though we should have a look.

Particularly the part where it started rolling forward but I’d neglected to tell you that I wanted you to apply the brake to bring the car to a halt

Babel, if you’ve got any ideas how to remove that setting, please let me know!

horrified to tip the scales at 9 stone

Looks as though you’re catching me up :ninja:

In all seriousness, that’s not very much. You could probably stand to flesh out a little bit anyway.

There have been some days over the past few months where I’ve eaten as much as three bars of chocolate a day.

That’s fewer than when I’m on a diet

I did briefly sit in my boyfriend’s car the other day, but I was a bit overwhelmed by it.
