Swipe a piston here and a crank there...
By the time they find out and sack you, you could have a full engine

Some inspiration for you!

Just tell them you have a monumental case of the shits. Bosses don't tend to question that in too much detail and they certainly won't want to chance a home visit.

I've just been up to the museum to have a look around and do some work for the fun and games I've got planned. If the weather's nice it's going to be awsome. Even if it isn't, there's lots to look at.

We got a camp site in mind or is it just pick your own? Is anyone even camping?!
Except for us that is

There is a grand total of one campsite anywhere near, and it's within 2 minutes' walk of the museum.

The thought honestly didn't occur, but then would you
really want a dozen drunkards sleeping in your back garden?

you didn't see the size of the 'garden' did you
if we were in the far corner of their field we would be in a different postal district

Me old dad (now deceased) used to work as a manager in the blue oval press shop at Halewood. They used to press out the steel for Escorts and Orions IIRC. We never bought a f*rd part for years, only used the last couple of f*ord self-tappers about 6 months ago. He retired in 1988!!!
SDD, might be able to go. Will keep ya posted.

Spoke to Hazel today who said we could use her field but would need to hire a potaloo for the night so have booked into the campsite next door.
the tearoom at attwells will be open for us between 12 and 4 for tea/coffee sandwiches ect.
