It’s not about being poor, more to do with people wanting extortionate money to stay on their ground, (I know, if I don’t like it…) they can go feck themselves, I’ll pull anywhere in peace, I won’t pull somewhere to have my pants pulled down. £600/month plus electric is taking the piss.

Let me rephrase that- trailer parks are an accepted cheaper way of living in the US.

 

I'm agreeing with you here mate. Housing costs are way too high.

I bet you got a decent view of the northern lights from up there last night!

Spectacular, Mow Cop is my sort of place, ain’t been there for time, I’d forgotten how tranquil it is.

@eggsarascal you used to work with a tarmac gang in your youth didn’t you?

 

Question. How come on some stretches of road/motorway there’s sections with loads of random black lines of tar, like a toddlers scribble all over? I can’t see how it’s filling in cracks, they’re too random. All over the carriage way, then, nothing, clean as as a whistle.

They are known as road snakes, they are supposed to do exactly what you can’t see them doing, it’s just tar poured into cracks to stop them spreading. Never did any of it myself, the gang I worked on did the major resurfacing jobs, plane and machine lay with some hand lay where the surfacer couldn’t get in.

Luck ran out today, filled up with water at an allotment, when I went to use it I noticed it was tainted a brown colour, got talking to a bloke who has a plot there, the water comes from a rain water harvester😂 anyway, the jolly around has come to an end, back to East Anglia to get some money in the bank. A picture of Mow Cop castle, it’s a folly. You’ll need to zoom in to see it.

It’s probably more potable than South Devon water.

Fair point, I’ve ditched it and sterilised the tank anyway.

Was it a good walk about eggs?

Yes mate, a mixture of places I’ve not been to before and places I haven’t been to for a long time. Wrist is healed now so I’ve no excuses not to get back on the tools.

Glad to hear your wrist is back up and running mate 👍
