Humour is a great antidote when things look grim. Feel free to post any stories or images to make us smile.

Needed!
Well done.

Not Mini related but should appeal to those who occasionally visit art galleries and are currently in isolation with young children.

Dear John,
I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work, leaving my husband in the house watching TV. My mini stalled and broke down about a mile down the road, and I had to walk back home to get my husbands help. When I got home, I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with our neighbors daughter!

I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbors daughter is 19. We have been married for 10 years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted they had been having an affair for the past six months.
He won't go to counseling, and I'm afraid I am a wreck and need advice urgently. Can you please help?
Sincerely Gloria

Dear Gloria,
A mini stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel filter. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check the earth wire in the boot. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it may be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, especially if you have the original SU electric version.
I hope this helps,
John

That’s great!
