Have started to put our CV's together ready for heading off and working our way around. To those who have done the same, do potential employers want letters from referees or just a contact name and details? Cheers. SCOEY

PRESSURE COOKERS
(Preview)
Following on from the Cobb versus the Dreampot thread, I was wondering if many travellers make use of a pressure cooker while on the road. While we don't always take ours, which is a medium sized one, on the occasions that we have, I've found it great for getting either a stew, soup or a piece of corned bee...

I posted in a previous thread to say how well our XTrail tows a 14.5ft van (old style). We have had no problem towing the van. I now post as a 'warning' to others to check under their cars. While we have had no trouble towing it seems there has been a problem we didn't detect until this week. We have had...
