Grey and still here. Plans changed a bit, putting a machine on a stand belonging to Avant South West for the Essex Young Farmers thing at Chelmsford. A Sunday show, but they setting their stand up today. Caz and I will go on Sunday and tow the thing home. You can bet that I wash the thing this morning and then drive through rain and stuff on the way! Be good today, and return safe to your families! Mann, Handel.

Home made sweet and sour! No noodles or chestnuts or such stuff in shop!

I'd would really like this Burnham fellow to loose the seat gifted to him by another MP with some scandalous behaviour behind him!

Hmmm. Was there one in there originally? Good luck changing the housing and getting it to seal properly! I'd consider mounting an online set up and leaving it there!

Wonder if RSK had a look? They already own BTS, HiLine and Dermet Casey amongst many others!

What about Kev Rickets? He kept SW open?

Are Birch still in the south west with WPD? No mention of anything at Co Hse and accounts not due until August. Shame. I remember Jeff starting after Protree got into bother back during the start of the century! I lost my 4 commercial contracts and the firm that won could never do the work at the rates they had applied but I'd shut down Barrowcliff's by then. The rates went up to higher than I was getting and their work rate never matched us either. Good commercial sense made y people who couldn't understand the job or what it takes! Just reflect on this. A good bricky gets £680 per day and has a trowel, spirit level and a plumber. He has £50 boots, Scrufs trousers, Adidas sweat shirt and plastic hat. A good tree bloke is wearing a grands worth of PPE and clothing, has access to several grands worth of hand tools, £25k chipper, £50k tipper etc and cannot command anything like a brick gets!

Jeff Birch? Who won? Smerdons? Jeff been around for years too. Hope the staff got a position with the new contract!

Yesterday's rain seems to have gone by and it looks good out there! Power outage at the HO on account of some tree clearance needed. The team turned up and wouldn't climb the trees and had to get access with a platform. The chap from UKPN looked a little thoughtful when I said that I'd have done it live back in the day without the cost or hassle of a shut down! Got a show on Sunday so getting ducks in a row. Pill, Each, Hole.

Morning Doug. Off to meet a potential buyer at the southern office. Looks bright out and has rained. Could be a decent day out. Be good and safe y'all. Kernel, Beau, Ghee.

It seems that the tax expert who found out about Polanski and the houseboat may have opened a tin of worms, "it is a common ploy among these boaters to have a house boat registered to a leisure marina and claim that they dont live there so as to avoid paying council tax. Additionally, Polanski also registered as a voter at an address which he did not live at which is voter fraud and a criminal offence!".

Morning Team. I changed my plans yesterday and stayed at home - felt lousy with cold and dont feel much better but need to get on.... Be good at you work today and return home safe! Dry, Mar, Teeny.

I've a neighbour the other side of a tarmac foot path. They are all a little odd but they keep a tidy garden and themselves largely to themselves. They dont like a spec on their front lawn, so after the cherry blossom drops the lawn has to be cleaned! I object to him blowing the stuff off of his lawn and to the path or over our garden fence as if it is his right! Any garden waste gets tipped onto the brook bank as it is 'natural rotting"...... yet she bollocks me if there is a spec left on the tarmac after I cut my hedge.....
