Please add anything you have learnt for the first time.

Today I learnt that drivers can drive cabs on a student visa is they are employed, but not if they are self-employed.

When the Wife takes her car to the garage and is told to leave the keys.....

.....they mean just the car keys.....

....and I am better employed taking paying punters, rather than going all the way to the garage to get the house, work, mother in laws, sons and daughters keys and then trekking across town to give them to her! :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

I've learnt that these things need explaining to her - with pictures possibly. :lol: :lol: :lol:
