Roadside
One of the things I dislike about modern cars is the lack of a spare tyre, even a so-called Space Saver.
Obviously without the Spare there's also no need to supply a jack and tools either. Manufacturers often claim this is to improve fuel efficiency but I suspect it is more that they have realised they can save a few quid. Plus they can invoice the customer a small fortune to supply this "Optional Extra" from new.
Instead cars come with liquid tyre repair compound in an aerosol container. This is great if you're really stuck but if you've picked up a nail or screw, using the compound means repair shops are unable to patch what might have been an otherwise perfectly good tyre. This then turns a £25 (AU$50, US$35) repair into a replacement tyre in excess of £100.
All this is to say, after a recent experience, I've found a supplier of OEM Space Saver tyres, together with scissor jack etc all for the bargain price of £140 (AU$280, US$190). Given my previous runs of poor (tyre) fortune, this will pay for itself in no time.
Maybe I can rest easy now LOL.

Mother And Baby Home
Just watched the Long Lost Family special about the UK Mother and Baby Homes, that operated in Britain until the early 1970's.
Here's a link to some information about the one I was born in.
