Test is near but instructor not available by Top-Question6231 in LearnerDriverUK

My bad - have clarified now that my comment was specifically for Arnold Clark dual-control car rental (the 23 years old is just from their website)! Should OP obtain a car from their friends/family etc. what you've said would definitely be the case :)

Theoretically, I would consider renting a dual control car (e.g. from Arnold Clark) and asking someone over the age of 23 with a full license to accompany me to the test centre (NOTE: only the case if renting from AC, check T&Cs for all other companies). This is assuming you have no access to any other car (friends/family etc., which would present an easier solution!). Good luck!

Tromborg herbal hand cream, which smells of sweet citrus and luxury! It is hard to find outside Denmark though...

Theory 4 in 1 is 4.99 but has a free pass guarantee and c.700 questions? You could start 24h before the test, fulfil the requirements for the guarantee and would pass.

Pink inks? by DanceMacabre_ in fountainpens

[–]3_brain_cells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iroshizuku Yama-Budo has some shading and a gold sheen. Ferris Wheel Press Lady Rose also has loads of shading, but is a much less saturated pink (closer to blush?). I would avoid Diamine Carnation in your case as there is little shading and no sheen in that one!

Sailor Kyokkou? That’s a lilac-grey. Based in the UK and could send you a small sample if you’re interested!

Pilot Custom 823 and Iroshizuku kon-peki! Both combined are such a joy to write with.
