I did your job in London for a while (between marriages  ;D) Albs. I lived in Forest Gate and did a 12 hour, 7 till 7, shift at Chelsea Harbour. I got the 5:30 bus, Victoria line tube and another bus from Sloane Square. At least 15 hours out of the house, 14 days on, 4 off.
Never again.

I lived on West Ham Park Road in Forest Gate for a while in the mid 90's and used to drink in the King Eddie's down on Stratford High Road.  :y
Shit hole innit ?  ;D

It does knock the shite out of me, but when you need the money...…
I have felt for a long time that my energy level is probably that of someone 10 years older. Up to 10 years ago I was full of energy and loved to physically graft 12 hours a day or more.
Now, an hour or two of medium level exertion knocks me out for at least the rest of the day.
Should have listened at school when I was young and had an easier life when I was old. But if you cant be an idiot when your young, when can you be ?
It only seems 5 minutes ago you were blasting around on a CBR600. :-\

What happened? :-X
I got caught, then I got old.

Somehow, by the grace of God, managed to avoid ramming 3 different Mercs up the arse at high speed on 3 different occasions.

I assume mirrors are as rare an option as BMW orange bulbs.

No, it's just that most of the drivers are occupied wondering where the timing advance lever on the steering wheel went to. ;D

Fitted a n/s wing mirror and (believe it or not) wired in a rear parking camera on the welsh plastic hatchback.

I was replacing the bumper last week and had this camera sitting around doing nothing, so thought I may as well drill a hole and bung it in there. Today I ran the wires and got it working. Then discovered the image was upside down, so had to prise it back out of the bumoer and rotate it 180 degrees.
It will be a nice extra touch when its entered in Anglia classic auctions in 30 years.

Its turn is coming soonish. Service, cambelt, aux. belt, rear donut bushes, and some other stuff.... unless I come across a CL500 or Boxster that takes my fancy in the meantime.
