Go for it Alun, better a 'friendly' breaks it than one of the serial breakers. Faster they go out of business the better.<br>

Do you think the steering wheel came orf before or after the car ended up in the hedge........or was ther just not a hedge there 20 years ago <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :eek --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ns/eek.gif ALT=":eek"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

...went over to Bidford today for a pre-arranged recce to see what would be required for the extraction from the hedge. Phoned before I left; answerphone, so left message saying I'd be there about 4pm. Arrived, difficult to find as no numbers on the houses drove up and down a bit and found it after having called again from the car but still answerphone. Had a look, decided it needed 4 wheels and a steering wheel to get it anywhere near mobile and then the owner showed up:<br>
<br>
"you have no right to be here!"<br>
<br>
tried to explain, response:<br>
<br>
"I know why you are here, saw you driving up and down, thought it would be you. Gives you no right to be here though, wandering around"<br>
<br>
Strangely the guy had just returned to the house by car so, how could he'd seen us driving up and down? and if he was in why didn't he answer his phone? and why was he surprised to see us having arranged with him in the week I'd be over saturday late afternoon?<br>
<br>
Dickwad!<br>
<br>
His rudeness caused us to turn on our heels and leave...at which point he asked if we were going to leave the money (as previously arranged) and when would I be picking it up??!!<br>
<br>
Double dickwad!<br>
<br>
Needless to say he'll be keeping his hedge ornament!<br>

Interesting 'engine fault' seems to be someone had cut all the HT leads off at both ends but leaving stubs in the head and cap...why?<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :| --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ferent.gif ALT=":|"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Was this Royston Vassey that you visited?<br>
<br>
What is it with people and their 'land'. Could understand it if you were towing a caravan up and down with a tranny van...........<br>

I think he needed the HT leads to tie up his goat!
