@Nigelrefowens Congratulations on an impeccable international career. In which you found time to teach me and several other wannabe help out dads to referee from various minor clubs on a weekend course that was totally motivational. Total respect.

To all of you who have been in the trade for longer than you can remember....

Happy Plate Change Day!

Your stopping distance is 10 times longer in ice and snow. If you’re travelling today please slow down and keep your distance from the vehicle in front.

Can you guess the second most common MOT failure?🤔 Suspension problems 😟 Get your car regularly serviced before it ends up looking like this...

[Road Safety Wales @RoadSafetyWales]

• Clear all windows before driving
• Take your time
• Beware of ice on roads, pavements and cycle routes even if they've been gritted
• Allow cyclists and motorcyclists extra room to avoid drains/manholes
• Take care when walking, ice is not always clearly visible

[Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency @DVSAgovuk]

So, did you know that the most failed MOT item is lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment?

16% of vehicle MOTs fail in this category!

[Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency @DVSAgovuk]

Remember, vehicle safety is not just for the MOT.

You should check your vehicle is safe to drive regularly. Nearly 50% of MOT fails could be avoided by doing basic checks. 😱

At this time 4 years ago, my world almost fell apart.

My 15 month old son stopped breathing in my arms.

Thank fully I knew paediatric #CPR.

I still struggle at times, but can you imagine if I didn’t know CPR?.....

...No, I can’t either.

If I was refereeing in Parliament half of them would be in the bin for 10mins and quite a few of them would be sent off.

This ⁦@Telegraph⁩ rewrite of my court story is also wrong: The pair weren’t spared jail because of the good grammar, and the judge didn’t praise them for the texts. Had the Telegraph actually been in Swansea Crown they would know this. https://t.co/X2EwTs6C9Z

RIP Geoff Emerick. Engineering pioneer who turned many of The Beatles crazy ideas into reality. Give him the respect of reading up on him today.

Every day, 1,100 trucks cross into the UK from the continent to deliver some £35m worth of components. Every day, these components help build 6,400 cars & 10,500 engines – the bulk of which are then shipped back to EU customers & assembly plants https://t.co/ZRfsV7d9Gd

An unusual call last night from @DyfedPowys to investigate an old @Ford Sierra exposed by receding water levels in Llyn Brianne Reservoir. Two members confirmed the vehicle had been there for many years & (more importantly) was unoccupied.

When did you last have your eyesight checked? You may not have noticed a gradual change in your vision.

In modern vehicles, when your engine is switched on daytime running lights illuminate, but only at the front.
