As in so many instances this year I had intended going to this show but unfortunately Maureens ill health has changed all plans this year,so I can't make this one either.

Actually when I turn up, make sure I join the club, I've been intending to join for years but I'm the least organised bloke in Britain...

See you there Keith - also I'll try and get over to see Edd China as ask him how it is that in over ten years of Wheeler Dealers - how it is that he's never had a single bolt that won't come undone (or even remotely stiff to undo, for that matter) or anything just shear or fall off through age and rust? It's funny because in that same time period, and working on less that a dozen cars (mine, mates', girlfriends' etc..) I've had ruddy loads!!!

While your at it, ask him why he puts up the lazy fat bloke who makes a £10 on each sale.

Never mind the red MK1 MR2 front wings Mike magically found in a scrapyard without a trace of muck on the inside , i.e. brand newly sprayed for £20 each....frigging miracle  ::) ::) ::)

Good job that in the fictional World of Wheeler Dealers, Ed doesn't charge per hour for his work, Mike's running round the country picking up bits never costs a penny in fuel and the 'specialist magazines' they advertise the cars in offer the ad's for free.

Still, it's better than being forced to watch most other things on the TV.
