  1. Todays one of my older Customers (91) broke down in tears when she opened door , yesterday at 2.20 pm 2 young lads and a bloke started weeding her path ( I had sprayed Roundup 3 weeks ago) before telling her or asking then took £500 pound off her, £250 she had and then £250 out cash till at shops 50 yards away . Same gang 2 years ago and she fell for the scam again , some may ask why she not ask or shout for help ,after watching the cctv from a house across the road they went in side her house and were intimidating towards her . No reg plate showing up on Camera and they removed her deceased Husband tools from garage and they were in less then a hour . Police cant do anything without Reg numbers etc, short wheelbase Transit and all wearing Shorts .This lady is frightened of telling her family (son) has he has threatened to put her in a home after last time so I have offered to put a Dummy cctv Camera up and hidden one of my Wildlife camera's has they have said they are coming back next week . What a nightmare and Dilemma!

  17. I run a F350 but not a Dually and down rated to3.5 from 5/6 Ton in the States , if it has been through the appropriate vosa test etc then it will gross at 10t possibly, they run on 8 stud axles so possible.
