Personally I preferred last month's front cover or the month before that p25 :-) ttfn Roland

Roland,

Well done, join the club. Is that you hidden by Philip. How long have you been living in North Devon or my geography as bad as I think it is.

as ever :-) no we haven't moved nor I am ever prepared to contemplate it! A friend in the business calculated 4 pantechnicon loads to clear this place. Shudder! ttfn Roland

Typical, famous for fifteen seconds and I haven't even seen it.

I hope Postman Dai brings it tomorrow. Otherwise I won't have my pin-up of Martin until we return from the outlaws.

It's a frightenening thought is moving house. I have done it a couple of times since I got a reasonable workshop. Both times the removers made the mistake of underestimating the weight of my "stuff". The first time only took 1 lorry but they loaded all the furniture then put the heavy stuff in the overhang. The driver reported very light steering after that. The second time it took 2 lorries. It's amazing where the stuff comes from, I sure I didn't get all of it myself. However, I warned them that the workshop contents were mostly steel ant heavy. Did they take any notice? Of course not. All of the furniture went on the one lorry and they proceeded to load the workshop onto the other one. When they actually left, the rear tyres were visibly flat. At the usual end of loading time when they were asking if they had everything, the poor drivers face fell when I pointed out the concrete filled garden roller and JCB bucket. I hasten to add that, on both occasions, I had already moved all the really heavy stuff and vehicles myself. That took a good few heavy trailer trips. So why did I buy a place without a workshop?
