Would we do something as immoral that? no we made sure he had a credit card before we left him.

My condolences

Yes we gave him a life jacket and tied him to the chain, we were then able to collect him at low tide just before opening time

"There are no better things in life than Mud-plugging and seafaring!" I remember many years ago a friend of mine set out across the Leigh on sea mudflats to deliver about 60 kilos of anchor chain to a boat, he slung it around his neck and shoulders, we were watching him from the shore as he sunk...

Aha there Jim lad, we are always willing to help out with the fixing and translation Paul.

As we live near the river I shall send the wife down there with the old scrubbing board, they did that in this area up until 1962/63. Many of the elder local ladies miss the social aspect of this ritual 'though find the machine easier.

This is the diet and it works, there is an english version on the net. https://www.seignalet.fr/fr/le-regime-seignalet/comprendre-le-regime/la-methode-seignalet.html https://professeur-joyeux.com/2014/04/29/lincroyable-regime-seignalet/ You must be very strict, the problem is when we were young...

Hi, I live in Indre and have a great mechanic with 2 mobile workshops, he has 2 Landys himself. Hope you don't need him. BTW he is not expensive.

I shall have to market the smell of old gearbox oil as some sexy new aftershave, get some stars and sexy young ladies to do romantic TV ads not forgetting of course, a sophisticated name. Any ideas?

Sunday saw the finish of all oild changes and greasing, I am now trying to get rid of the smell of dirty IRD, gearbox and back axle oil that is hanging around the garden but I now have a bigger problem, I stuck my oil soaked clothes in the washing machine and the wife has gone bonkers. Every...

I see where you are, not far from my second home CHU Poitiers, I am back there on the 10th July for a week. Nothing serious, I have an aggresive form of Rhumatiod Arthritis which slows you up a bit and they can't get their heads around the fact that i have stopped all of their lethal treatments...

I think he got the guillotine

There is an interesting story of a guy that was in court for speeding he was accused of doing 140 kph in a 90 kph zone. As all of the road signs are just marked 50, 90 or 130 not 90 kph he asked the judge what is the official measurement of distance in France, the meter the judge replied. What...

France is a great place to be despite the flying madams. Just be aware that there may be one coming around the next bend whilst trying see between the dashboard and the lower part of the steering wheel.

Hi Datatek, I haved noticed that the ladies are the worst offenders flying around the country lanes never thinking there may be a tractor coming around the next bend. BTW which side of Poitiers are you? I am on the Le Blanc-Chauvigny side.

T Thank you Andy, the gas was removed when the specialist found that the pump was kn****ck*red so no prob there, the rest was easy once you have managed to remove the bloody sump guard. Just disconnect the A/C pipes, release the drive belt, undo 3 bolts, one electrical connection and Bobs yr...

You are right, I only use sat nav on a long run so I should either get a telephone holder on the dashboard or go for longer runs.

Point taken Nodge, I have just ordered a wrist watch with a big dial and leave well alone. At least it is one job off of my list. Many thanks Paul

Andyfreelandy and Guineafowl21. is the comressor difficult to change and do you have to put 0 rings on the connecting pipes.

In my case the outer covering is not fluffy, I have no idea where the previous owner obtained the filter but I rather suspect it was changed during the last service in Greece so it is very likely made out of a pair of Grans old knickers like the oil separation filter I found. Hmm and I thought...
