Treated the Audi to a new set of front brake pads. Not fitted them yet but will do soon, as although they’re only around 60% worn they have started kicking out more dust, and I hate dirty alloys.    Rears to follow shortly as using cruise a lot appears to wear front and rears at an equal rate.

Wimpy …….

A couple of years back, their famous Bender in a Bun got renamed Mr Bendy.  Clearly that is too much for middle class Oxfordian types with nothing better to do, and has now called Pork Bendy.

For years I thought Wimpy had gone completely, since we lost the one in your old homeland formerly known as Cadena Cafe. It was years later that I realised that they still existed. 

How the hell can a Pork Bender be more acceptable than a Mr Bendy.   

I'll give you a pork bender, young man 

Our bins were square, made of galvanised steel and fitted, by two lugs either side, into a metal frame in our back yard wall. The binmen would have to carry them the full length of the back alley (jigger), tip them and bring them back.
But they were the same binmen for years, and they used to get a small Christmas gift off everyone.

Prince Albert is known for being, er, open minded

I’m rubbish at history, I’d always thought that a Prince Albert was a genital piercing. Every days a school day.    

....
 except when the bin was filled with lumps of broken concrete. 

.... and who would do such a thing? 

....
 They dont even carry the bins anymore like they  used to. They just wheel them to the truck. 
Bunch of woosies. 

I remember bin men carrying the bins out on their shoulders .... they had a big leather pad they put the bin on 
SWMBO used to work in waste management. The binners were a bolshy lot!

Yep.....for many years as a kid our binman was a wiry Glaswegian who went by the name of Jock.

He was as hard as nails and always stank of stale Woodbines and scotch. Most of the time he was quite affable except when the bin was filled with lumps of broken concrete.

The biggest hurdle will be the bolt pattern. That said, all the Carlton ancillary parts should swap over.

What is it then ? Old age ?
