Yes second hand, still over £60k for a 5 year old vehicle.

She also wants some road freedom :)

Agreed, there's a few lots in the area that have plenty on offer, all for really strong money regardless of age. What's your budget @My Old Landy?

Do they really get used though ? Loads round ere that never seem to go anywhere at all.

Well, before we went to the show, the budget was vague but under £40k. Having seen what is available for that, I don't want to spend £40k on a 15 year old vehicle!

"Get behind the mule, boy, in the mornin, and Plow"
(Quote from one of my namesake's best songs.)

Only I'd change it to "Get on those blocks, boy, in the mornin, and put up a few more courses." Not quite so poetic is it? Don't scan so well. (Addressing you here now as our resident wordsmith!)
I admire the neatness with which you have cut the blocks on the gable end. What sort of saw-type tool did you use?
 
Boat recovery done today 140 tonnes of it :cool: Spent the day out in the work boat & the rib boat zipping about.

Bit miserable tonight.
Always get like this when contemplating having to leave here and get back to Blighty but it is worse since that flipping blond idiot meant that we are now forced to get out before the forces of loranorder pounce on us for having overstayed our visa.

And I realise that this is mildly political, for which I apologise. I am now standing in the corner with my head bowed!

Funny story regarding this.
At primary school my bruv was once made to stand in the corner by his teacher Miss Guy. When there he got the overwhelming urge to pea. Having been naughty and sent to the corner he didn't dare ask to leave the room.

Miss Guy used to change her shoes when she got to school and put the other pair.......
in the corner.
So guess where lickle bruv relieved himself???

And he never got into trouble for it. So lord knows how she found out and what she did about it.

My teacher was called Miss Buckle. Funny names now I think of it. The school was The French Convent in Hull. Run by french nuns. The Mother Superior didn't even speak English.
I got expelled and to this day do not know why although I was once told by another particularly fierce nun that my behaviour was "diabolical" which at the age of 7 I didn't understand. They let me back in on probation.
🤣🤣🤣

Oh and it has to be automatic so it cuts down what is available too.

October (I think) is the release date for the new 2024 models so many dealers start to offer big discounts on unsold 2023 models.
People ordering the new 2024 models at the big Birmingham show will, for the most part, be trading in their existing vans. All this means a general shuffle of prices in a few weeks time.

It has to be noted that there is already a noticeable increase in the number of peeps who bought during the lockdown period and are now selling as they want to return to holidays in the sun!
