Our friends Roy and Jill do this and we arranged to meet up for lunch with them at a lovely little pub called the 'Crooked Billet'
Some of their customers need to update their cars I think.
Interestingly, Roy and Jill live in the center of a golf course ,and to get to their house you have to look both ways as you drive across the fairways. 
Running the gauntlet ! A rabbits view of life.

On Sunday we drove up to Milton Keynes to Bletchley Park. This is the well preserved site of the most intriguing story of the WW2 code breakers .
The story starts before the war began in Poland ,where some very clever mathematicians got hold of an enigma machine,used by the Nazis to send secret messages. They nearly worked out how to break the code, before passing it along to the Brits. This memorial recognizes the Polish heros
Churchill directed that a group of the best brains England could muster be formed to break the code. They purchased Bletchley Park, a private estate, to house this department of code breakers .
An enigma machine was captured from a damaged submarine ,with a code book, and with the ingenious machine above,the code for the day was broken.

The code was changed once a day at midnight. It was such a huge operation that it took a staff of 9000 over 3 shifts 24 hours a day
The staff explain every step . Hitler's personal messages to his generals was sent by a far more complex decoder, so the code breakers. Came up with this magnificent machine called colossus with which they were successful
