I’ve done the discs and pads on my work van today and they are screaming every time I touch the brakes, I’ve had the wheels off again and everything is how it should be. Anyone got any idea why?
-
Thanks fella, didn’t think I’d be back in a pile of bricks just yet, but winter is hard roadside. Have you started your van conversion? Missed out coming your way tomorrow, mate of mine delivers garden furniture, he’s running down to the IOW tomorrow for a few days.
-
Now I know, if all goes to plan we should get the keys on Friday, our kid goes on holiday on Saturday, no doubt he’ll leave me to sort everything!
-
It’s bollox mate, but if you can show due diligence the old bill will find it hard to charge you, hence I walked today with a caution for the pot.
-
No external box, safe box in the van. Same place as all important bits live, driving license, passport etc.
-
Just a quick question, if someone said they’d swing ya jaw for such a comment would you think twice about saying it again?
-
No it’s not, I’ve locked the keys away, I’m in my boxers and T shirt, I live in this camper and have no intention of driving until tomorrow. Sleeping in the back of a car might put you on stony ground, you don’t get a NFA if there’s a problem. If I was sat there with the keys in the ignition, that might be a different story.
-
Problem is, if I start I’ll run me mouth. Best for me to stay calm and collected these days. I knew apart from a bit of weed they’d got nothing on me. There was no point kicking up.
-
Personally I’d go petrol, although my ex neighbour had one of the kinetic electric ones that seemed to work well.
-
How charming.
-
Yeah, they wanted to see where the keys were, the herb wasn’t hidden, it was on the passenger seat. What people don’t understand is, I don’t care anymore. I used to, but not now. Talking to the officer who took me back to the van, I said, only this retarded country worry about a bit of weed these days.
-
I gave them no lip mate, when I got to speak to the duty solicitor she said they’ve got nothing, apart from the weed on you, she’d already spoken to the duty Sargent/officer.
-
I agree to a certain extent, but when I’ve got the drivers seat facing to the back and in my boxers and night shirt it’s fairly obvious I’ve no intention of going anywhere. Over zealous, that, imo is why they give it a NFA.
-
The duty officer said, you must be the unluckiest bloke in Staffordshire, parked in the middle of nowhere and get arrested by the rural team who were out looking for badger baiters. It did raise a smile.
-
I didn’t neither, but looking into it, it’s down to the driver/owner to prove they had no intention to drive. Funny when we are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.
-
I’ve got one, and the keys, apart from the habitation door were in it, I think that’s what saved the day, and got me the NFA.
-
Parked down the lane when the rural policing unit comes by at 3:15am, drunk in charge of a motor vehicle, and possession of cannabis. Got a caution for the weed; and a NFA for the drunk in charge. Talk about a waste of police time! Bonus was they did give me a lift back to the van.
-
I haven’t been keeping up, thought you’d curled ya toes.
-
Missed you by a mile mate, I’ve been busy but missed you.
-
Where’s @Stubby, I’ve been absent myself, but where’s arl fella?
-
Fair play, now I’ve thought about it, it’s Mill lane?
-
I understand the use of culverts, but why plug holes? I needed to drain a pound on the Rochdale to cut a spring mattress off the prop, seemed easy enough.
-
Didn’t know about Bollington, was it a breach that caused the whirlpool?
-
Like many, but not enough of the bridges it’s been restored. No need for iron wearing strips now.
-
Yep, towpath changes side, no need to untie the horse.
