 Didn’t mention moving back to the UK.

 

We have kids.  1 is officially and adult now and the other is 14.  4 years to work something out.  And see where life goes.

 

It just becomes tedious when you consider some of the things that are taken for granted here.  Plus I want a beach and sun.  Done the winter stint now need a summer stint.

I even went as far as writing a love song about England. 
 


Got the crabs bucket line from someone here as it happens. He’ll know who he is. Feel free to message me for your royalty payments but I wouldn’t get too excited. 

I genuinely quite enjoyed that.

 

It's the music Ed Sheeran would've wrote if his parents had done their job and beaten him from time to time.

Best things about England.

Pubs.

Christmas.

The ability of the English to communally join in on something, Football/Rugby tournaments, Bonfire nights, village fetes etc.

Pubs.

The non fixation with qualifications, if you do it, you can do it.

Entreprenurial spirit in the young.

Did I say pubs?

worst thing currently about UK, 

the abundance of 3rd world shithole theme parks that are in almost every city, along with the disappearance of common sense to recognise the problem.

Sounds very much like the ford ranger scheme. The quality of the work was atrocious, underseal on top of dirt and rust, mine came back with the masking paper still rammed everywhere in the engine bay. Big promises from ford but in reality just a bodge job. 



Hoping not, the 2 that I've seen that came back from full replacements are exceptional, just took a long time 4-5 months. everything on the undercarriage was replaced bar the wheels and breaks pretty much.

My understanding is its also not required for them to do this at all "legally" speaking. its off there own back, an its all free. cant really knock em for it imo 🤷‍♂️

I guess Toyota care more about what people think about them than Ford do. 
I’ll run the current one to death or until someone with half a brain gets in government and puts them back to a commercial vehicle taxation class. 
Look up Rusty Ranger on facebook and you will see how bad a certain batch were.
