  1. Paul, remember to buy a pack of radiator brushes. They have long handles, narrow & angled head. Often can get a pack in a one pound shop, very useful for inside box sections & all those intimate little places on the pig.

  2. Support your local sub-Post Office!

     

    Never had a problem there & they are pleased to have your business. I see they have now been stripped of their role in issuing TV licences, so that will accelerate the closure of yet more of these small post offices which HMG seems determined to press on with. These little businesses struggle to survive yet provide a very useful service particularly in a rural community.

     

    Re-taxing vehicles in a main Post Office, my experience is not good with exempt vehicles like ours they sometimes say it has to be done at a LVLO as it is too much effort to cope with the unusual as they are paid a bonus on the speed of getting customers past the counter.

  3. Clive,

     

    Do you think your wife ( or maybe the horse ), is trying to tell you something ?

    Richard unless you have a deeper knowledge than me, I haven't looked closely but I think the problem is that there is no storage capacity. Hay one day means dung the next, there are random depositions all over the place. I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Given that the horse's capacity for exudation that it has no control over, I feel confident that my wife has no more ability to influence this given her difficulties of operating forward & reverse gears.

  4. Clive must comend you on you shed thought only mine could look like that

     

    Well I did have a little bit of a tidy up first, I must confess.

     

    I have great admiration for those who can maintain the logic & discipline of a clean workshop. But I can remember there used to be pictures in magazines of amateur radio 'shacks' generally all neat & tidy with rows of Japanese boxes then occasionally there was a picture of a mess shack with wires everywhere, bits of equipment half built & tools all over the place. I used to think that at least he builds something & gets in there with soldering iron etc.

     

    But todays hobby is a bit messier. As Jerry will testify when he saw me at work today. I can't get round the vehicle properly to weld etc so I have to drive it into the open & squelch around in mud, not helped by wife on her horse doing a big dung where I am working (that is the horse I mean)
