  1. Yep, direct debit monthly. It's still a first for me. Mustn't grumble really, money in the bank and no poxy cheque to photograph to send to the online thingy.
  2. Can you not shout over to the West Wing and ask Mrs P....
  3. Now we've established its not called road tax has anyone else had a refund into their bank recently?
  4. I guess that's why they call it VED, no one claim it was road tax...
  5. When I've ever had a refund for road tax it's been a cheque in the post, anyhow, I sold a van last month, today I've had a refund paid into my bank from DVLA. According to the Gov website cheque is still how refunds are made. Anyone else had this?
  6. You couldn't make it up.
  7. The fact that your old boss took the radios out of the vans is a classic, and a sign to move on.
  8. What's that machine doing in Suffolk? Don't say lifting logs.
  9. Scotland has also, some of the French Aires I've parked on are not only cheap, some even free are second to none. Most of Europe are way ahead of the UK, they welcome people spending in the local economy.
  10. Tonight I arranged to park up with a mate of mine who a haven't seen for a while, plan was, park up in the carpark of the heritage railway go to the local pub for some food and a few beers then back to the vans and move on in the morning, get there and there's three motorhomes parked in the carpark with the residents (read fecking idiots) blasting out music, luckily my friend is a regular at the pub so we've parked on their carpark, are these people wired up properly? They'll no doubt be on social media tomorrow saying how unfair it is we are always getting moved on. Ranting and dumbfounded.
  11. First night this year the temperature has risen after sunset, global warming, or...
  12. Sneaked one over me again! I understand mate, I do like to repair, reuse, but it becomes uneconomical at times.
  13. I was jesting, it makes no sense to have a new sole put on, and the other bits, gluing, stitching done, by time they are done I'll be a oner+ light, I can have a box fresh pair for £160.
  14. OK, I'll get some new boots then.
  15. Best part of a oner! Brand spanking new pair for £160, how's that work? So the leather upper is less than the sole? Explain that to Mr...
  16. Feck my old boots! I've got an excellent pair of hiking boots that are 5+ years old, they need resoling, but not at a cost of £75, am I that far out of touch?
  17. Rick Buckler, drummer of The Jam, arguably one of the best punk/mod bands of all time.
  18. It certainly is.
  19. I guess some at the RSPB would get stressed, the lads who run this sites are sound, including the site manager and head ranger, never give me any hassle, in fact they give me 24/7 access to water, toilets, I've even run an extension lead to their workshop when my solar controller failed.
  20. It doesn't bother me but it's a no through road, one way in, one.way out. This work is being done on behalf of the RSPB, not the brightest thing to do on a weekend when the place is full of dog walkers.
  21. Feck that lads, park the trucks across the lane and drop it...
  22. Do you know Dom Kiddy? He's always on the lookout for round wood.
  23. That looks fair warn.
  24. Fair point, it does wear on bends mainly. Makes you wonder how much poly is entering our waters.
