    The whole cars are compliant...when similarly engined commercial derivatives aren't just highlighted in my mind hat it was nothing to do with pollution and was all about money. Even more...wen I used to work nights. I would take a VW Lupo Diesel in to work. It would easily do 70mpg and nearer 90 when in the 20mph zones...I'd be charged £12.50 before midnight and £12.50 after whilst using just a gallon of fuel to get there and back. Conversely a friend down the road had an 09 Bentley. Compliant ! so he would burn several gallons on the same trip. Yet no charge. 8 gallons of petrol vs 1 gall of diesel. doesn't make sense in my head. So therefore seems to NOT be about pollution. Lastly living outside of the zone and working inside without access to scrappage or any of the other benefits. unfair
  2. Morning
  3. Morning Going to sound like a broken record.. same as Stubby and Roboted Awake for long spells with the roar of the wind. Dogs didn't want to go too. On the ground today. Hoping it'll stay dry.
  4. Morning. Off to see little Sister in Somerset. Have a load of Oak in the truck as a late Christmas present. Collecting Dad and dropping him in Pompey. Home and relax. Have a great day.
  5. Festive Greetings I hope you are all fit and well. Enjoy the day. Bob
  6. Morning and seasonal greetings. Everything sorted for Christmas so a quiet morning up the farm clearing fallen trees and the odd dead ash for the farmer and my log store...when I can get in there with the truck in spring. A happy place.
  7. Morning Last day. Friday. Hooray! Load of Oak delivered yesterday. Mucho splitting ahead.
  8. Seasonal salutations. Morning Having a fair blow up here too. Not light enough to see if I'm busy or not. Good Luck All.
  9. Morning Off to London. Last time. Then relax. Have a great day.
  10. Morning Mild and wet. Fire on. Counting down to Friday morning....peace
  11. Morning Last week of work. Still getting buzzed to complete stuff...and they wondered why I want out? Anyone else would have been shuffled off and out. Lovey and mild. Hopes for a nice afternoon.
  12. Morning Restless hounds so up early. 2 x loads of logs out today. Then Done till 2024 I hope.
  13. Morning Clear and cold. Secret Mission: Off to Pompey to see my Old Dad. 😉 😁
  14. Sorry to burst your bubble. No. The original firm had MoD contracts and so I had all the Security vetting to go "places". Keys were just Masters for a load of Comms Cabs. They don't want me being a bad chap now I'm leaving. Plus they can be re-allocated to someone else. Boring, eh? Sorry.
  15. Morning Off to London handing in my secure keys and on the last few days of work. What a relief.
  16. Recently purchased a Big MIll. An Older version and so the current manual doesn't contain the relevant setup or part numbers. Anyone got a scan of the old manual? Please
  17. Morning. Agree @Doug Tait Mrs and I sat down last night and couldn't believe it was ONLY Wednesday. Felt like a Thursday all day. Hey-ho one more week to go and I'm done.

    Mince pies

    My only disappointing pie is one is the one that reveals a massive void inside and a measly smear of mincemeat. Makes yer mouth dry just thinking about it........reaching for the Tea to wash it down.

    Mince pies

    Stollen all the way. Brought some snack sized mini Stollen back from Hannover in October. They didn't last a week. Mince Pies have their place but with custard only.
  20. Morning. Feeling better. Weather slightly improved but still a river across the road.
  21. Morning. Same rotten weather as @Stubby doesn't help the mood or the new cold. Quiet day ahead.
  22. Morning Here...with a "seasonal cold" Not bad just running at 80% Fresh air will sort it.
  23. Morning Made it.
  24. Morning Was brisk at 3 when the dogs wanted out. Milder now. High hopes of a nice quiet day ahead.
