I knew you were retired John.
No longer at Yoxall (Boss was a right tosser) now working in Ilkeston.
Still running that S4?
Yes, it's only got 47k on it. Someone asked me to sell it them about 12 months ago and we are thinking about it. It hardly gets used. I've got a Gixer 1000 for fun and an A6 Avant for carrying st about. we'll have to meet up for a chat.

Burton is a town that long forgot itself. It’s a bit of a rundown st hole to be totally honest.
Like most areas it has the good the bad and the ugly.
The outskirts of the town are the nicer areas and surrounding villages.
I live mostly at a house in rolleston, nice area nice pubs etc. Would also recommend Tutbury too.

I have another house the far side of the water at the top end of Woodville towards ashby. Again nice enough area and decent enough pubs if you’d want recommendations.
Ashby is the handiest place to use if you are at woodville.
Swadlincote is ok but again some areas are prone to inbred half wits that don’t take to outsiders so kindly.
Hills have eyes and all that.
