Thanks to all this uncertainty, the value of my shares are dropping and my planned trip to Norway this summer is getting more expensive. In for me. Not sure the grass will be any greener on the other side of the fence.

Fifty quid's nothing. I hooked up my Electra Glide to the Wife's mini when her battery died. The bike survived unscathed, but the mini needed recovery to a mini dealer, and a week later I had to cough up £1,600

Posted a little write up a couple of years back entitled, if memory serves me right 'Calais to Santander via the Alps, the Pyreenes and all the twisty bits in between'.
