  1. Wonder what it would cost to get the land and put a track in. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/property/gallery/gorgeous-canalside-cottage-sale-under-31434359?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwY2xjawJySbNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHppDuuYBuDsvQZNPMtfxxyYq2b73imdX8pld9ymhOZ-i4xbjx7zTWZu2X_nH_aem_f7EYnUAV--PtJm_-IbL83g#Echobox=1745037931
  2. Many a true word said in jest.
  3. Yeah, read all about it. I've said from when I first joined this parish we would come to regret closing down all our mines. Many weren't viable bur there were plenty that could have still being worked today that could power our industry.
  4. Raw materials is the problem apparently, they can't get coal for the furnaces at the right price, funny that...
  5. Haha, I bought a knitted top that weighed a ton in the 90's, never took it of in clubs even if I was sweating my balls of for fear of some scally choring it. Where did the years go...
  6. Didn't get this far before I posted.
  7. Scunthorpe steel works, the government look to be taking control of the site from its Chinese owners who say its making a loss of £700k everyday. Your thoughts?
  8. How's tricks Rich, longtime no speak. Spot on as usual, no self respecting hooligan would be seen out without his badge on show back in the day.
  9. I've had two of these v-twins, the only starting issues I've had with them is carb related. I used to take them to an old boy who's work was garden machinery, he could have the carb off, cleaned and back running in half hour. they really don't like stale fuel.
  10. Unfortunately life isn't fair, never mind van insurance, my multi vehicle policy that also covers my caravan went down this year. That said, I bought and sold a little van recently, the same vehicle with 5 seats, and windows in the back would cost £30 to tax, 2 seats, no windows in the back £300-odd, how's that work?
  11. Anything added/taken out of a vehicle after it left the factory is a mod, if you tell your insurance, or not, is your business. Just don't have an accident if you don't
  12. Last digs job I was on was Epsom Racecourse, B&B with evening meal, we couldn't get the breakfast because we were away to early, but the lass who owned the place did us a pack-up. We didn't get a penny extra to stay out, we did get the scrap though, more than made up for it.
  13. What's going on with the search thingy, Bullman? It's not working here.
  14. What about staying away from your wife and kids, eating out of take aways, or pubs, £20/night would compensate for that? Get a grip Les.
  15. Exactly what I did back in the day.
  16. @spudulike this is what happened.
  17. Not sure, in 97 I started for a company in Northampton, they were paying £18 a night, I was going up in the world then...
  18. In the 90's nights out were £15 on top of digs money.
  19. What have I told you about changing stuff!?
  20. 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.
  21. Can you not shout over to the West Wing and ask Mrs P....
  22. Now we've established its not called road tax has anyone else had a refund into their bank recently?
  23. I guess that's why they call it VED, no one claim it was road tax...
