As last years'posts have shown we have a lot of wild life too. The badger that fell through the old cover for instance, but maybe because it is salt none of them ever seem to want to swim in it or drink it. Mind you, by law, you have to keep it safe when not there so that means covered in our case, and our cover is a very close fit held down with mini ratchet straps.We contemplated this for a long time and decided not to simply due to the fact of the wild life we would have to share with
I know a similar story, told to me by a Scots friend from the Gorbals. He spent some time driving an engineer around who had lost his licence through the drink. He fixed turbines. The sort that ventilate factories. He said blokey would go into a factory, ask them to switch it on, watch it for a few seconds then say, "Take the covers off and get me a ladder" then they'd go to the pub till that was done. Once they got back to it, he'd ask for it to be switched on again, watch it again, get it switched off, climb up the ladder turn it round until he got to the problematic blade, size it up then give it a big whack with a lump hammer. Then off the ladder, switched on problem solved. Back in those days he'd charge a thou or so for that. The customers would say, "But, but, but all you did was hit it with a hammer!" to which he said "Ah, but it is knowing which blade to hit, where and how hard. would you rather pay two or three times that for a new blade?"
I may have got the money bits wrong this was over 40 years ago!

When I drove a van in London for a wine company, (agency job covering the normal guys hollibobs) I'd finished by lunchtime so wnet back for the next load. The boss man came out and shouted at me "Wot you doing back here?" "I've finished" I said, "Look. " and opened the van doors. He looked at me and said, "You must have driven like a total maniac!"a pity more people don't think the same
So from then on I finished every day at lunch time, went home, parked up for the afternoon and went back at 5 o'clock to drop the van off.
I talked to the peeps I dropped off to, they said, "Oh that old boy always takes his time, stops for a cup of tea etc etc!"
Mind he never cared how they loaded the van, I got them to do it in reverse order by post code, so I didn't have to turn over tens of lookalike boxes at each drop.
You know they will miss you when you are gone.
There is an opportunity for you to do 2 days a week (mid-week) as a self-employed person, and that's very profitable.
They pay all commuting and you pay very little tax and no NI if you are over 66. A nice little earner.
I did 3-days a week Tues/Weds/Thur and my take home was the same as it had been for a 5-day week man.
Confucius he also say, "But they will be cleaner and not rusty so you'll use 'em anyways and keep the others for "spares!" ".Confucius say: Day after missing parts ordered, they will appear in the middle of work bench:

Glue/sew it (if its double thickness) and heat a nail/rod of the rivets size red-hot and melt a hole through; then rivet.
