New Aldi Chainsaw

[harvey b davison]

I was born in 1970, so I was 16, left school in 87 and started with local council as an apprentice joiner, passed my driving test and my very first car was a fiat 126 ??

Thats amazing mate! When i was up there it was a grey granite Borders block town. Was starting work in Kershope forest where we lived with  the  Forestry Commission. An its pronounced ' Hoik' fr Southerners ?  k

haha,been a lot of changes up here over the last 40yrs or so,an influx of guffies buying up estate cottages etc,people more or less moving out of the rat race,london,birmingham,edinburgh,glasgow, even getting a  rush hour, traffic jams   in galashiels,pain in the posteria,so i think it was a case of draggin the shoppin experience out of the middle ages,which i did like,haha,for the influx of incomers to the borders,but kelsae has its sainsburys,lidl,gala has,amassive tesco, asda,boots the chemist,mind you the roads are still draconian,get behind a couple o tractors, and the tail back is terrible.lol,

me first car was a 1977 Fiat 126 with the odd choke and starting levers next to the handbrake.  Used to get 5 of us brutes wedged into it of a friday night. It interfaced with a stone wall near Kilcoole one night whilst i was trying to dice with a  Hot 1340cc Mini. I drove it around with no bonnet for a bit till Dad advised me to scrap it.

@struie it was a picturesque place went I was there - but forestry fell on its arse and the rain killed me. Not suprised people moved out of the rat race up there as www means many businesses can run up there as good as in London. Still bought a couple of bits this year from Park Gate forestry supplies !
