Stationary in what frame of reference
Stationary whilst in contact with the road, to exaggerate it,if you take a track laying vehicle (tank) the track is constantly moving on the tank until it comes in contact with the ground,then its stationary until the tank has moved its entire length over it,its then picked up by the rear sprocket and starts its rotation again.

If only you’d confirmed we were in Newtonian physics I would definitely have got that!(not)
Nice ☝
Sorry BTG, I wasn't trying to mislead you,but i'm not too sure this is covered by Newtons Laws. I think the relevant word in this is 'traction' where the corresponding surfaces do or don't allow this to occur.

Here's a catchy whistling tune from the soundtrack of Kill Bill Vol 1. WITHOUT googling, can anyone tell me the very Welsh connection to it?

Reintroduced this cos it's gone off the page - out of sight, out of mind. Google it if you want to but the Welsh connection is associated with the Amman Valley.

I guess there's no takers for this then. The clue is where it says 'Twisted Nerve'. This whistling song was called Georgie's tune and first heard in the 60s movie Twisted Nerve, a psychological thriller. Hywel Bennett played Georgie. Used to bump into Hywel quite often in The Cross, Ammanford (then owned by friends of mine). 'Bump' quite literally because he was often pissed but tidy enough guy, though.

PS: Small world - @Ladygargar 's hubby also knew my friends who had the pub but we didn't know each other back then. Strange that we should eventually meet years later through LadyGG. :)

Interesting puzzle with no trick to it. Simple enough to solve but might frustrate if you get on the wrong tack. So, what do the following words have in common?

REFUSE, BASS, LEAD, MOPED, BOW, WIND, TEAR.

It's straightforward with no cryptic red herrings to bother about.

Thank you kind sir. I should have said they look the same but are pronounced differently, then I wouldn't have to tease out all those meanings.
