Man builds wooden gym in his garden just in time for lockdown METRO.CO.UK Ohio resident Zachary Skidmore has included almost everything you need for a full-body workout. Does this give anyone some ideas?

Thats the issue, they won't accept this as proof under their current conditions...you will need to go to the police...maybe this protects them from sellers and buyers putting in fraudulant claims if working a scam together???

Read this on another forum about a ebay/paypal con....will do some more research when I get a chance. Basically, if you sell something valuable on ebay with a post option, bidder wins, they pay with paypal (plus post) but then collect it in person instead, then a week later, put in a claim to say they have not received the item, ebay/paypal then request for proof of postage, which you cannot produce... then recharge you! To be fair I always ask for cash on collection...but worth taking care....especially if they pay the extra for post then ask to collect....

I have been to several funerals recently, some close friends and have noticed the off the shelf coffins are nice and shiney but look cheap if this is the correct word to use......your effort looks so much better...

Prison for welders for failing to go into isolation!
chopperpete replied to chopperpete's topic in General chat
Actually feel sorry for them, it was only a 2 day job, so were poorly advised about the required quarantine before they left for the island.. -
Back to my original post, there was a feature on todays Rip off Britain....featured a couple of owners selling their cars who had oil put in their header tanks by Romanians...then asking for a huge discount! one fell for it, the other guy didn't.... Police stated such practices are connected to organised crime, however it was difficult to get evidence to convict individuals, so message is be aware and avoid face book to sell cars...

Just read they can also put oil in the water header tank too...ps may be while they are looking at your car you can shove a potato up their exhaust!

Just read this in Practical Sports bike Mag ( I have an 1990 Ducati) that mentions an old trick has resurfaced (popular in Europe) for getting a price down when selling your bike, car or van...the buyer turns up with a friend or two, while you are discussing things at the front of the car, one of his mates squirts something into the exhaust using a squeezy bottle...may be a light oil?? so when the vehicle is started up and gets to temperature the exhaust starts to smoke. Looking like an engine/turbo problem, the buyer asks for a substantial discount... Mind you, most Landrovers produce their own smoke!

Do mean after you have used it?

Depends how rusty you are?
