Ok, another Tale from me and the late big John. so I bought this old 35cwt transit drop side, got it cheap as it had the useless v4 in it. I'm struggling along with it as it's a good solid truck, I'm thinking of putting a diesel of some kind in it for economy, the usual kinda thing that was around at the time was a perkins 4108, or similar. talking to John in the pub we get around to talking about a replacement engine for the snail like transit, John suddenly announces,," I know where there's a good engine, it's brand new in a crate" really John? "yeah It's a mate of mine got it" so Saturday morning were off to see this new engine, I'm kinda thinking it's gonna be a waste of time but hoping I'm wrong. we rock up at the guys house and head for the garage, sure enough there a crate with FORD written all over it, "what is it?" I ask, "don't rightly know not good with engines" "ok lets have a look" gets a pry bar starts opening the crate, "how did you manage to buy an engine but don't know what it is" "Er,, I didn't buy it" and quickly added "it's not hot" I prize the top from the crate and immediately recognize the engine, it's a Ford V6 Essex motor, and not just any old v6,, it's a 3.1 a feckin' RS 3.1 not nicked you say? ok , what's the story, well guys a swimming pool builder, and he builds a pool for some customer who then decides he cant, or wont pay, so he starts down the usual route, solicitors, letters, etc,etc, this is how John gets involved, engine guy is a mate of his so naturally Johns offered to er,,, help! so John pays them a visit and discovers a very irate wife who has discovered her husband is screwing someone else, presented with this John is about to leave and the woman says, if he's not feckin' with his bloody car, he's off screwing someone else. and there's the crate engine, "I'll take that as part payment" help yourself she says. so he did. 3 months later after numerous letters, phone calls etc, it transpires the adulterer has run of to Europe somewhere with the new squeeze and vanished, she owns the house so matey boy has shitout, she comes up with some cash for the pool to avoid any ccj and he keeps the engine. "feck me what a story, ok how much?" "two hund,,"DONE", I hold out my hand and he shakes it, red quid" result. two weeks later the engine is in the transit,facilitated by the v6 bellhousing, on the tranny box, and the diesel front panel to accommodate the extra length of the v6, soon it has the required 500 mile running in period and boy this thing can really move, the acceleration is frightening for an old transit truck, due to the rear axle ratio, and a little care needed in the wet, but ton and half on the back and it doesn't even know its there. and at sensible speed it's no worse on fuel than the v4 as it's barely ticking over and has bags of torque, John is itching to drive it,, but I'll tell you about that next time.

Well done that man, should be some helpful statistics

😂😂😂🤷‍♂️You never actually answered did you. “ your words” Of all the people on this forum to come out with that statement 😂😂 I’d normally not answer a blagger who doesn’t ever give a straight answer himself but in this case can you explain what you are driving at or the point you are trying to make here ?? Is this you displaying your racism again blagger, there’s no white faces on there !! Whilst in reality rather than your twisted mind there are around 4.5 million ish in SA, waa it not 1652 when the first Dutch settled there, now I know as does everyone else here how much you love and preach about the benefits of immigration 🤷‍♂️are you saying those people descended from the original immigrants are not now South Africans !!!!, that would be that libtard double standards manifesting itself again I’m afraid, a very common occurrence on here. SP a confirmed racist 🤷‍♂️who would have guessed eh, better not let your boss see this sort of thing you post online.

Not much brains needed to spot that

Who said this 42 ?? You keep referencing me in this question 🤷‍♂️I know I never said that so who did ?? I gave you the facts to prove the point I made !! Was that not enough ie BMA and Gov ??.

Government launches Orgreave inquiry, 40 years after clashes at miners’ strike APPLE.NEWS Move follows decades of campaigning over violent policing and collapsed prosecutions at South... A long long time overdue, sadly after the police have had the time to destroy much of the evidence.

If they fold though I am thinking the new owner would have to pick up the debts - the receivers will then own all the assets to be sold off to the highest bidders? Still going to cost a fortune either way

What are people doing with strawberries in regards to keeping them for next year? Lots of mine didn't produce fruit this year and usually I just let them die and buy new ones the year after. My ones are normally in hanging baskets or strawberry planters ie not grown in the ground.

The sum total of my chicken knowledge is in this thread.

On the mundane level of actual shopping - I don't rate the Aldi trolleys: they've got no hook on which to hang your bags.

I woulda gone Waitrose or B/M Top dollar or bottom of the barrel, anything else is just chav IMO.

How long do they take to get from egg to full sized chicken?

We had to deliver a pissed up mate of ours to A&E once in a Sainsbury's trolley. (With claimed broken ankle, believed by no-one else). They laughed us away at the entrance.

Forget buy back - force them to fix the issues, penalise them heavily if/when they don’t, leave them to fold (no bailouts) and then take them back under government control.

It's the double standards thing again. Plus the trying, but failing, to pass off BS as fact. (By ranting it rabidly, repetitively and rancourously).
