Not been that way myself since I moved from Aylesbury.  The pub used to be a right rum old place, proper inbred place.  How times change ;D

Well, it starts and runs, and has a full compliment of coolant, so aside from the issue in the other thread, it seems no harm has come of its little piece of drama :)



I would like to meet that GM idiot who decided to put the coolant bottle where it is.  His face would get rearranged. self-abuser.

In other news, Royal Mail, as of 7:36am this morning, now have the alternator regulator I ordered last Tuesday lunchtime, so will be here early next week, probably Tuesday, as its been posted with 48hr tracked (not the 24hr tracked as per the description on Ebay). Did I mention I think the majority of Ebay sellers are lazy, incompetent, lying bastards?

So I will see if I can rearrange the cars and dump the Jag somewhere localish (its the only car that works, so can't be too far away ;D), and pull the bumper off the Battlebus.

It doesn't have to be eBay to be ficking annoying. Blinds2go sent me a tracking number this morning for the new kid on the block courier, DX. DX site doesn't recognise the number, 0844 to ring them. Checked back with the Blinds2go site, 0870 to ring them. No joke at about a 20 minute wait. T wats.

Is that from Mid Ulster rotating electrics ? If so it surprises me. They sent mine almost before I had ordred it.

Nah. A UK based item that I suspect is actually coming from Poland.

Shell Leandenhall (in Milton Keynes, about 23 miles away), which is our nearest LPG once Shell Bicester stops doing LPG in 2 weeks, has announced they are stopping LPG late August.

So, seems Shell are following what BP did about 4 years ago, and are stopping LPG in all their owned stations :(
