People whingeing that they can’t travel on their expired passports and blaming the money grabbing tour operators.

Folks

I have a sack truck which nominally has air filled tyres but one of them has developed a leak. Rather than fit a new tyre I'd rather fill the thing with tyre gunk and be done with it.
