👉Some simple things you can do to reduce your risk when you buy a used vehicle in a private sale are to check:
🚗whether the vehicle is subject to a safety related recall
🚗that the vehicle has a current Warrant of Fitness
🚗that the vehicle registration is up to date
🚗whether the vehicle is stolen or has any money owing on it
It’s also a good idea to get a thorough mechanical check of the vehicle. Most garages provide a pre-purchase inspection service.

Because it’s been seen so rarely, scientists still know very little about it. But its striking features are already sparking debate about whether it should be given special protection, and some have even argued it could become an icon species for Papua New Guinea.
At a time when we so often hear about species disappearing, the return of this little shark is a reminder that nature can surprise us ... and that there’s always reason to hope.
You can read more about the sailback shark here
We hope this brings a smile!

Research published this year has demonstrated that playing music helps keep dementia at bay - no matter how late in life the skill is picked up.
The basic idea behind this research is not new - we know that 'cognitive reserve' (learning new things) plays a big role in delaying mental slowdown. But the reminder that "it is never too late" is welcome ...
We hope this news brings a smile!
