  1. Makes I should be looking at? Don’t mind paying for a decent one that I can move on once I’ve finished with it, no room to store atm. It’s to be used building a camper so doesn’t need to take massive timber.
  2. Don’t bother, took our kids golf clubs out to him that I had scrubed clean, cost me $180 at Melbourne airport to get them through, that was many years back. You
  3. Long day, train from Suffolk to London, tube across London and another train up to Stoke to get my camper. Stoke will be like church for me from now on, only go for christenings, weddings and funeral.
  4. Wound the jacks down about an hour ago… sigh of relief…
  5. The yard I’ve been renting was coming to an end at the end of this month so I had to get out, few phone calls and there’s some work Essex/Kent. Although I’m a Stokie through n through it’s a shitehole, had no trouble but glad to see the back of it. East Anglia is where I feel settled.
  6. Rig pulled together, over towing capacity but it is a Sunday, fingers crossed! You
  7. Late one night, a burglar broke into a house he thought was empty. He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly he froze in his tracks when he heard a loud voice say: "Jesus is watching you!" Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again. "Jesus is watching you," the voice boomed again. The burglar stopped dead again. He was frightened. Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was a parrot. He asked the parrot: "Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?" "Yes", said the parrot. The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the parrot: "What's your name?" "Moses," said the bird. "That's a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot named you Moses?" The parrot said, "The same idiot who named the Rottweiler Jesus."
  8. What a croc, the lass I’m kicking about with is an insurance broker, with her company, and many other insurance companies there is a 10-15% uplift for sign written vans. As for magnetic signs being for pikeys I don’t think I’ve ever read such nonsense, I can’t remember the last time I saw a traveller with magnetic signs, and I mix with quite a few. Some of us don’t have any option, well, we do but I wouldn’t get the subby work I get if my van was sign written.
  9. When did you get him/her?
  10. Picked up a Peugeot Bipper this afternoon, 09 plate 75k on the clock, timing belt done 4k miles ago, full service history. I’m going to put a new clutch in it on Monday, it will come with 12 months ticket. £1750-£2k depending on what it needs, if anything, when it goes in for the MOT.
  11. Funnily enough I tried to palm a MK6 Transit tipper off on Bolam the other day. He politely told me to go forth…
  12. When the boss man says, go to tip off, I’m not sure this was what he meant. I
  13. I decided it would be a good idea to fall off my mates crosser a while back, I didn’t plan on almost leaving my little finger behind, Arnica cream seems to soothe it a little, but it can be a right face puller if a catch it wrong.
  14. A-Plan, now Howden insurance work well for me. I’ve got my van, tipper, camper, and box with them. Not had to claim off them but their reviews seem good.
  15. I realise that, unusual to see one fitted not on a boat.
  16. I was wondering what the skin fitting was about, have you thought about ducting the air inlet into the part of the shed you are heating to recirculate the already heated air?
  17. I’ve not got one in my present box as I’m waiting for the Hcalory 2kw to come out, although I did read a week or two ago that it isn’t going to happen now. In my last box I ran my Maxpeedingrods day and night all through winter with no issues, as did many other people I know or speak to. I realise they are cheap knockoffs of the German heaters but after all they are night heaters. I’ve often wondered if my insurance would pay out if my box went up in flames due to one of these heaters, I guess I know the answer! I’ve never heard of one going up in flames. Have you got a picture of your setup?
  18. Saw this on a Facebook group near where I used to live in Suffolk earlier, couldn’t let it pass me by. Roll on!
  19. Plenty of videos on YouTube showing heat recovery from the exhaust to heat a radiator.
  20. You can buy insulated ducting for not a lot of money, recirculating the warm air, as you have is the way to go, makes the heater much more efficient.
  21. Temperature will be back in double figures first.
