Day off today. All I have to do is drive Mrs C to Norton Canes Services to do a Checkpoint Charlie type exchange where my son-in-law takes her and I get a sandwich and a bag of Hula Hoops. Then I drive to West London to meet my bro who has put a deposit on a Cayman and wants a second opinion before he parts with thirty trillion quid. Then adjourn to a hostelry, then drive home in the later stages of the rush hour. My day off will commence about 11 o'clock tonight.

Seems like a very poor exchange rate that Dicky.......................

I don`t know, I paid £3 at Luton Airport & got rid of my parents........... My Sister gets the stty end of the stick though.

She will have to pay £3 to get them back!!

I've given the carb a good clean and reset all the springs and bits.

Engine's running a treat but the bloody blade needs sharpening now

Thing yourself lucky you don`t have the amount of Greensward we have at Jim AK Acres.

Think i may have to invest in a Massey 165 & Gangmower thanks to Battert buggering up the Fordson Major we kept for the Cricket green

[Bomma220]

I didn't know the Fordson Major was U/S? Good Lord, that's practically a museum piece.

We should get it in the hangar and have a proper look at it. Probably be worth leaving it until we move to the new volume, not really worth starting a big project now.

Well if you want cheer and bon homie this is the place. We'll help as much as we can but for gods sake don't heed any advice from here, I did and look what happened, and having to sit on a rubber ring isn't fun I can tell you..

In fairness, at the time I think very few of us heeded the warnings about Battert's cooking...

[Jim AK]

Not his finest hour I have to say, be a good idea if he had a finest hour pretty soon at his age!!

Insists it was into the quarry at Trivton of squash that fking Pelican

Im sure I know what my option would have been!

Agree on storing for the new volume & this trolly business seems to have rather taken over, I noticed 2 in the Beer Garden at the B&L at lunchtime too.

Lord only knows where they came from!!

Oh, those? I took them there a couple of days ago.

Frank's got them on trial with a view to them replacing the traditional hand carried trays.

Initial results look promising, could be a 'nice little earner' if it goes ahead.

Just got up. Time for breakfast

After all, it's the crack of... errrmm.. quarter past three

Ah, yes, but when we swap back I get a fully functioning wife and they two empty wrappers and a four day old crust.

As an aside a "mate" of mine tore his while entertaining his "lady friend", apparently there was so much blood he thought he'd had an "accident!!

I did that too.

Pretty common apparently...

If we were to undertake an Essex conversion on this, would an RS2000 axle fit?

I've got an old 2.8i Capri one, looks a bit too wide though.

Yes but it'll need an anti tramp bar.
