Garage that sells cheap, older cars and don't rip you off

I've had some dreadful experiences buying older cars from garages in Newcastle. I find myself potentially needing a cheap, older car for my dad, and wondered if anyone has any recommendations of places they trust etc.?

I also know nowt about cars so am in the worst possible car-based scenario, really....

Dickhead parent kept parking on the double yellow lines right outside the school instead of parking 10 metres away

Always in a dangerous place meaning kids can’t see when they cross the road. Cones had been added to make it even more obvious.

I walked past and casually picked up a cone and put it right in front of her car.

Watched her drive off and go over the cone and stop to figure out what had happened.

Immense pleasure.

Would you rather have money or pay for time off?

WYR have an extra £50k a year but you work full time Monday to Friday and only get weekends and bank holidays off, or two months off on top of your normal holiday allowance but you have to pay £10k?

Do all bus drivers know each other?

Or do they just wave at each other because they’re both driving buses?

I’m jealous of the sense of community.

CampWild Website

I've been keeping an eye on this for a while, but have not joined.

I get that they're kind of charging for stuff that you can get for free, but as a timid and irregular wild camper, the idea of having somewhere I know I wont get moved on does hold some appeal.

I've never been moved on on my few camping forays, but it is at the back of my mind...

Anyone got any experience with it?

Edit - I expect this will incur scorn from those that camp wildly regularly, and that's fair! Consider it from the view of a novice, if you would :)

I have a day off tomorrow

I’m planning on going to the gym then smoke and sear for breakfast. What should I do after that?

No, I won’t go to the black garter.

I’ve always been dreadful at gardening, but am fairly happy with this! (Please ignore the lawn…)
