Sadly I don't think many people expect insurance companies to be much "help". In fact I was surprised a few years back when I managed to persuade a broker to get the insurance company to sanction repair of my DiscoTD5 with secondhand parts, over...

Well yes, I'm not expecting the insurance company to be any help. It's just so I'm doing things legally. Because I have a job, an address - I'm even on the electoral register - pay council tax and the like, I'm a sitting target when it comes to...

What really poops me and W off is all their ads about "You'll be insured against accidents with uninsured drivers". Really? What they don't say is that if said scrote then hightails it and cannot be caught, you get stung under your...

According to UK government figures I'm still in the sweet spot for being very low risk at my age...

Just used me new metal detector/toy to find some pegs that we use to tie guy ropes to the posts around the hen run. Worked like a dream! ;)

My Dad commented on the cost of their car insurance rise (not a high risk or high car value) nearly to the point that the amount of miles they do taxis might be cheaper. Seems stupid at the moment. He mentioned it could be age related too. J

I doubt it is that. They are ALL trying it on again this year. SAGA are used to insuring older and careful folks! I will also be 70 during this insurance term and they didn't bang it up for me. They did try it on but a bit of negotiation and...

My Wife's renewal has just come through. Up by 42% from £292 to £417. No claims have been made no accidents etc. etc. Why? Well we think it is because her 70th birthday will occur in this years insurance term. Blatant ageism.

Wee drive but you could stay at Stans

I'll give him the code to the padlock to the garden but the grass is very high for a tent at the mo!

"LOOKS" nice. But if it is why not put some pics of underneath? Always makes me wonder, or am I different? Anybody knowing/buying a LR will want to see under the skirt, suppose the plebs look at the shiny top bits? Did like the comment that all...

Looks very nice, the odd thing needs doing but a lockable cubby box? Didn't know they did those.

Afternoon all, who luvs a Monday. :)

No visible screws on my watch. ;) Its all about the finish yer it takes longer but worth it I suppose. :)

Fur enough. "Sticks like s***" it is then!!!;)🤣🤣🤣 Only joking! I'm now wondering how you fit the front of the side panels on. Or "deco" panels as we say in the trade!!!🤣🤣🤣 Does you just screw through at 45 degs from the top and the bottom where...

Having an easy day today as we have been very busy last week and over the weekend. Dins went well yessdi, managed aperos outside but too chilly to eat. We have noticed that the dog's pongy breath, which she has had for over a year, has now...

...that I have my gas canister back. Unused... because it was a "just in case" for 2 meals at his place, but his own canister never ran out. Have told him not to ask for stuff again because "Foxtrot-Oscar" often offends. Still hopping mad. lol.

Heavy thunder n lightening is very very frightening............ not for me I luv it. :cool:

The same lad a while ago went away to work for a week & left my diagnostics on his back seat n his car which was left opened round at the garage site with god knows who prowling about. :mad: :mad:

They must be dumb as flip cos it it were me they'd nevr borrer anything of mine ever again. When I borrers summat I always check when they want it back then return it clean, serviced, if nec, and on or before time! You never know when you might...

Re replying to this as have only just noticed you said "one" wall unit. Still trying to unnerstand why you had to fit the fiddly bits on then put it back up. Specially as you often have to scribe the side panel to the wall anyway. AHA! Are you...
