Well at least you did not get the ****ty end of the stick.
Cheers
Lent them to a neighbour some time ago, he brought them back lovely and clean in their original plastic bag, he left them leaning against a small trailer on our frontage. With Covid etc, I left them a while.
Too long it appears!
tis only £20 or so but.....Feck!
Who the heck pinches used drain rods? Must admit they were lovely and clean! you could have eaten your dinner off them!
Our main intruder light, mounted on the low wall on the front edge of the property, had been playing up, i.e. staying on all night so I unplugged it.Also although we have a security camera, wifey never bothers to set it to record.
So this is how doing a good turn can turn out wrong!

It's a little cast iron stand and bird, so it's going nowhere.

I could do with a few of those to scatter around my garden.

Cheeky bugger, he should have left a note ...
Lovely peeps, it is likely we were still in bed and he didn't want to disturb us.
He will now likely be delivering a frying pan to Paris for us free of charge.
He runs a DPD franchise and it turns out they are French owned!
Every day is a school day!
Just discovered neighbour's (the wife's) stepdad died yesterday, so things have been manic.
The blockage occurred yesterday affo. So that is when he reborrowed them.
I did remember her saying she couldn't visit him due to to Covid. So she is now staying with her mum. (in Brighton I think)
What a bloody mess.
Did any of it settle?

Don't you even take Sundays off?
Ooops sorry, your unit is not where you work is it? I mean as in paid work, or is it?
Oh feck, I'll shut up now!
No point taking days off nowt gets done otherwise
I do some some paid work in the unit, mostly car stuff although that's where I keep some of my
toys, We have a load of lovely timber to make some tables or kitchen islands & the unit is the easiest to heat so I will be spending a bit more time at nights in there. I did take my mates gearbox out his 90 today
new clutch time, so that took a couple of hours, then I had a few visitors so nowt got done after that.
You might ( or might not ) recall that I commented upon this rise in the cardboard prices a few weeks ago. Seems to be getting desperate now.

Or get some of that phenolic resin plywood that is used on trailer beds. Expensive but durable.Coat the plywood with epoxy resin.
