Was dark when I let the hounds out. Went back to bed. still there.

That’s the LUL way… the inverse pyramid of management… one bloke to do the job and the remaining 78 levels are ‘management’…

I left just as that deal went through… you must have been on the Metronet Project?

Prolly just after I left BB in 2008… wasn’t Mansell was it?

Apparently it’s 60 years to the day since Dr. No was released…

Where it all really sort of began…seems a lifetime ago I got my first ‘real’ Site Manager job with Balfour Beatty, rebuilding this place! Will always have affection for this area.

First divert of the crossing today… windy not moist.

Yup, it’s all going up by a few quid a bag… need a bit of a blow to knock some trees down. Problem is, those pencil-necked desk jockeys at the council won’t let you clear trees off the road as it takes work away from the council-approved contractor who has a Lantra award in chainsawing…

Been looking and I see what you mean… then the TDV8 changed to a TDV6 around 2014… less clunky interior and the start of the ‘rounded’ look.

Thanks for the advice. The D4 was only a thought. I do like the full-fat RR, not really considered the RRS. Whatever it is, has to be ULEZ compliant. My current Mercedes isn’t. Lots to think about…

In a rare excursion from AG, I’d like to read why I shouldn’t buy a Disco 4. I am considering such a move as I need to re-evaluate my vehicle requirements. My way of thinking is a D4 and a Mercedes Coupe. So, what to look for, what to avoid, best trim level etc. Thanks

Had porridge. Now being monitored in case I move…

Dunno. Didn’t need to

Let the dogs out at 6am, went back to bed. 6.08am got up for a pee 7am fed dogs, made tea Still in bed.

New project in the bag… nice big high-end residential refurbishment.

Been to Lunnen, on way back home. My work here is done.

Do the trip quite frequently, but never this early.

Lunnen Tannn

It’s way too early to be getting on a ferry… people know I don’t do 9am meetings.
