There’s been rioting in Stoke for the past few days, mosques and shops being targeted. Groups of English and Asians having it off at any given chance. Shops and pubs have closed early today because they knew more classes had been organised for tonight. This is my home town this evening.

Just out of curiosity, what’s an excellent rate of pay for a climber, and groundworker. Obviously it depends on experience, just a rough idea? -
Thank you Bud, I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, it’s a bastard of an illness, but I’m a great believer in pushing on, I might get down at times but I’ll be fecked if it will beat me.
-
Much appreciated, the biggest victory is getting the residential side of things sorted, and I do feel slightly smug, I was told by stacks of folk I wouldn’t get it passed again.
-
Good advice, the chances of me finding another plot like this one are slim and none. I’m going to keep it for now, although East Anglia is where I feel most settled.
-
I’m with your way of thinking all the way, I gave £15k for the plot and another £10k for the ‘shed’, it’s falling down but there is water and electric there, it’s cost me around £50k to get to this stage. £300k bid now it’s passed. It, imo will never get full planning for houses, but it’s worth good money to the right people. Keep it, or move it on?…
-
It is a result, and word soon spreads. Two gypsy men have already bid me on it. Decisions, decisions!
-
Idyllic hey? 50 yards behind those pictures is the A52! Still, we can’t have it all!

When me and the ex Mrs bought our bungalow in Suffolk we took extra money to buy this plot in Derbyshire, although well lapsed when we bought it it did have permission for 3 static, and more importantly, residential homes, this week I got it passed again, It’s been a long slog. Anyway, I’ve started work on it.

Yes, bio security is extremely strict. $180 fine taking our kids golf clubs in that didn’t meet there criteria. -
Ray Reardon died, brilliant in his day.

I’ve watched them on campsites over the years, how the feck they traveled 200 miles for a two week break in the sun amazes me. Alex might disagree, but some should not be let out with a dog on a lease never mind pulling a trailer.
-
I’ll be right @Anno, it always comes good, even if I have to force it at times. That said I’ve been fairly remote for a couple of weeks with little or no access to the internet, and phone signal until yesterday when I spoke to our oldest kid, apparently the old bill have been to his looking for me, (I use his address as my base), I’ve no idea what they want, and they wouldn’t tell my brother. Spoke to a brief this evening, he’s going to ring them then get back to me. Sounds serious, but I’m genuinely at a loss as why they want to speak to me.
-
Where is it, if it’s close enough I’ll buy it at trade price.
-
@maybelateron was that your crew in Wetley Rocks today, some fencing, the others carting timber in a blue Isuzu? I got a lift through there going to the motor factors earlier. I’m

The garage, to be fair I was in agreement with them, it was only when the extent of the mods were discovered the price shot up. The drive shafts are 20mm shorter than the originals, not something that would be easily spotted until they offered the new ones up.
-
Never a truer word spoken! It’s a good job there’s two sorts of luck or some of us would have none.
-
I’m sort of in agreement with you, that’s why I asked the question. I think I’m just going to suffer it and move on. At least the garage where it’s at are letting me stay in it at nigh/when they aren’t working on it, bit of a logistical mare, camper smashed up near Ashbourne, trailer in storage in Suffolk, and work van on our kids drive in Madeley.
-
The offside one is fubar, that bill is with me sourcings the parts. I’m in a fairly agricultural area where the garage it’s in don’t mind working on it. It would be an insurance write off if I reported it.
-
This camper is an odd ball, if it had been standard £2k would have covered it, I knew it wasn’t the original engine, what I didn’t realise was the drive shafts had been custom made when the replacement engine went in, this is where the extra cost came in.
-
And then have a massive increase on my renewal even though it wasn’t my fault. My mates car got wrote off when it was parked up, his insurance doubled even though he wasn’t in the car at the time.
-
Last Thursday some young lad hit me head on, he’s not disputing it was his fault, he was going like Joe feck around a blind bend on a country lane, I’ve not informed my insurance because his father said he would pay up to £2k for the repair, which he’s stood his word for, the problem is, the bill is £2600, and the father ain’t moving on it. I guess, because I didn’t inform my insurance company straightaway that they won’t want to know? Should I just suck the £600 up, or is it worth getting the insurance involved. What would you do?
-
I stand to be corrected here, because this is contradictory, if it’s got a light it should work to pass a MOT, but reverse lights only need to work on the offside to pass a MOT. A switch on the dash won’t pass a MOT, unless you are in Stoke where £80 will get you a MOT.

Funny isn’t it, I live in a camper, and have more visits from the police than most, not once have they tried the, drunk in charge of a vehicle. I do enjoy a beer, it’s not top of my list mind. You
