Since you have been so generous as to proffer Tea and Tiffin to the tribes on sunday, would somebody be so generous as to post a small missive including a map?

Unfortunately, the system at work can't get past the first screen, and my printer at home won't work.

Thank you for your assistance in the matter.

Clicking on 'view full map' is useful as it gives a better indication of the nearby M6.

Although I'm down at our Warrington dealership today, I have already checked on the progress of the springs and I believe they are in transit!

I shall be visiting Costco on my way back to Wigan later this afternoon to collect the muffins, danish pastries, cholesterol cookies...and query the availability of the tiffin!

Anyone know what Tiffin actually is? It's the association with Carry On films that intrigues me (fnarfnar)

According to my dictionary:- Tiffin: In India, a light lunch or snack.

Oh dear, don't tell me you're not bringing your nice shiny springs on sunday.

Some things are destined not to go to plan!

I have to say though, Gorners have been great and are blameless in the small problem experienced. Fair play to Mark in Parts for bending over backwards to help rectify the situation, and some.

Enjoy Back Home and have a sandwich at Gorners, for me!

Say a big hello to my Griff for me. Tell her I'll be there to pick her up on Wednesday, and not to worry!

Top Tiffin young Mr Stuart, a pleasure to meet you. And the Suffolks. FlipFlop, was the caravan wrecked on the A50 after the roundabout at Uttoxeter before you got there or did you blow it over?

We came to a stop on the next island so went right through Marchington and onto Lichfield where we picked up the A38 and fillede up again - 4 times in 3 days. Bit of a strange route to Brum for Blackpool but there you go.
We guessed that's why you came off when we sawe the queue.

Stuart - thanks for the hospitality of Gorners both on the Saturday on the way up ( I had a beer and let Andera drive) and the cakes (wow they were big) on the way back.

Any news on the silvery blue cerb and the unmarked Merc???
FFG.

No, we dived off to fill up, came back on, then got caught up in the tail-back. A caravan had fish-tailed(judging by the skidmarks), and put the 4x4 backwards into the layby.

Bet that stops him caravanning!
