Huge puddle in the fiesta spare wheel well. Just drained it out got everything drying and some rice in to absorb excess moisture.. seals around boot feel okay and not distorted.
No damage of note though so will just keep it on a regular schedule of inspection

I had this a while ago, Mazda 6. It's been bone dry ever since. Just before I discovered the water I had taken it through a car wash. Somehow the angle of the jets must have found a gap and that is how it got in. Have you done similar recently?
We have been through the wettest winter in living memory, for me anyway, and I've driven through all sorts of puddles and none have soaked the boot since so hopefully I just need to avoid car washes in future

I don’t think we have .. but having said that it could well have been a while ago. We don’t clean cars regularly here, rule is leave them with a protective film of filth and when you do clean it, it’s like a new carI had this a while ago, Mazda 6. It's been bone dry ever since.

I saw those stuck on to a car window at Monklands Hospital in Airdrie a few months ago. Oh how I laughed!Back in the early 90's Newcastle University used to stick an A4 notice on the drivers side window of cars that were parked on site in places they shouldn't have been. The glue on those was phenomenal. You could see remnants on windows of cars all over the city where people had tried and failed to scrape them off. Evil things but highly effective in getting the message across. People rarely fell foul twice, they learnt.
I don't see it anymore, probably not allowed to stick something that wicked on a screen now, but I often thing of those being used in scenarios as you have described. Revenge if nothing else

The older I get the better I use to be,
Watching a program about the Miner’s strikes last evening
The way some of the Police behaved themselves was terrible.
The way some of the Police behaved themselves was terrible.
Before my time in the police, but I did hear some stories which made me cringe with embarrassment. One of the worst was how lots of officers involved in policing the dispute used to wave their payslips at the striking miners. Much of the policing was done on overtime and a lot of officers earned enough to buy new cars or pay off mortgages.
As regards the policing of the picket lines, I’m sure there was a lot which those on both sides of the dispute did which they perhaps weren’t proud of.
One of my favourite photos is the one of the miner wearing a little kids police helmet whilst facing off with the police

They may have got paid a lot of overtime but I remember not really seeing my old man for quite a few months at the height of the strikes. It was also scary watching the stuff on telly knowing he was there, especially when he was policing Orgreave.
we did get our first video recorder after the strike though

I watched and it brought back some real bad memories. I saw some of the worst policing possible from the Met police. The guy that described them as double ( insert said word) hit the nail
On the head. Yet at the same time the police from Somerset were salt of the earth. The day of the battle at Orgreave i was kicked out of home. I went back to work after 14 1/2 weeks. My contempt for Thatcher is matched by that of Scargill.
