Ice on inside of windows Heat only in one room Coming home from school and lighting fire Paraffin heaters ( horrible ) Heaters in car that didn't work -- still dont in land rover - wrapped up in blankets in car Push lawn mowers ---- aarghhh Turkeys hanging outside shops at xmas First asians in saris ( exotic)

I think a lot of fleets register the keeper not themselves SO cash will be returned automatically to wrong person Am I wrong?

I believe yamaha have stopped petrol engine development Focussed on electric vehicles Way of the future?

It occurs to me that car tax will be refunded to registered keeper Not necessarily the owner of the car I see trouble ahead .........

Had to mot car and pick up this month Only got one mot ( car ) pick up on a database somewhere

Worked with lot of scallies in the 1980's U can spend billions on technology they will walk through it In 80's they put codes to top car stereo theft If you put stereo in freezer it reset the codes - found freezers full of stereos in liverpool

I'd always go for simple Tax, mot and insurance on the windscreen No technology/ databases in the way Simples ..... I'm not anti technology Just want APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY The scallies are good at technology If you enter chassis number on a database they will renter it and replace zeros with letter o's --- guess what never matches on searches

Bit simple to think someone with a nice meadow on the edge of a town voluntarily getting it listed and protected No chance of getting planning permission then .....

How do I use anpr to check insurance details of a car?

I think we should have discs for Road tax Mot Insurance Then you can track down vehicles, and check on dodgy stuff more easily

When I was assessing was regular visitor to haulage firm with haughton stock arctic stock trailers -- they were fifteen foot six high if I remember correctly He had special routes --- but even then damaged the roof on regular basis Scary as hell standing on slippy roof in regular shoes......hated it

I was considering that too.....better than chequerplate?

Your still using cheques? Must admit I like them .......but now a bit obsolete ( like me )

Thanks - if theres two ways to jump I'm guaranteed to jump wrong

Should I use flat plate - easy slide logs or chequerplate to stop them sliding when splitting? Any advice welcome

Morreys nice old fashioned nursery ...... Mahood Brothers - Leading UK Growers of plants, trees and shrubs have been ok too

It's that lightheaded feeling when you lookdown ...... Cut finger off with carvingknife when I was a kid ...stuck it back on but it doesn't work anymore , cut through joint..... Bloody horrible .......

It's called Saint Monday ( ie a saints day you take off work ) Goes back a long way My mother could remember my great grandfather ( a contractor down the pit ) going ballistic when no one turned up for work on monday back in the 1920's

If I could findthe bloody glasses

True but I get fed up with guys messing me about BIT OF A RANT TO FOLLOW When I bought my Jotul went into woodburner shop in St Asph ( local supplier ) and stood watching guys doing nothing in the shop, asked three times for someone to serve me..after forty minutes ! Walked out and bought off the net.... If they coudn't be bothered to serve me when I'm spending £2k what service am I going to get later? Put chainsaw into local husky dealer for straightforward repair......two months later still dicking about , bought new one off net and waited to see how long it took them ( 4 months ) not very good service, they told me 1) needed carburettor, 2) needed piston and cylinder, 3) and summat else I can't remember ....ended up buying third saw from them ..... Leaving me a bit oversawed as I only cut frewood for myself Put strimmer into another local dealer, told unrepairable , bought new strimmer from them, Bit pissed off when my neighbour turned up with secondhand strimmer he'd bought from them ...... Car not handling well, Put into garage fitted set dampers, tyres, front suspension arms , not sorted , so full geometry alignment, replaced more suspension and anti roll bars, still not sorted eventually got them put on ramp for me, three minutes with screwdriver and found worn bushes in rear track control arms - job sorted ---- BUT WHY DO I HAVE TO SORT IT I'd love good local service and would pay reasonable amount for it ..... Still above is nothing Compared to AXA PENSION SERVICES who I calculate have cost me £100k ....... When you find good servce you treasure it.....but the service comes first .....

Went to local companies Didn't like attitude at saxon in oswestry ..... Was in wrexham buying paint and saw they sold woodburners liked one a lot Came home and checked reviews which seemed 100% not going to buy without reading reviews, checked prices and bought locally Just saying they can be bought slightly cheaper .....but went local I'm not rich enough to waste money......

By god another business opportunity ! I see them with a nice ( organic free range ) neck chain Sell them through farmers markets ?

Bolt in gearbox crossmember would be good .......

That takes me back Not been out for years ......

They charge a bit more for ones with metal pallets .......
