Might be in the Ford yet - went to take Edward II to the gararge for a MOT,
no fire, no siree no way.

Battery not up to much, so put a spare one on which turned out to flat also.
Took both to the shed, charged Edward's. Battery back on after work and he
fired up no problem. bloody prima donnas. Up to the garage but no chance
of a test til next week, too much else on. They might have time for a
look-over to see what needs doing. But that doesn't leave long to fix the
inevitable faults, then get him tested.

Mind, I could probably shave about 2 hours off the journey in the Ford, but
it's not so good for sleeping in, so I'd have to bring the tent... 's also
not really what you'd call an off-roader, although suprisingly capable on
smooth slippery stuff.

Get the priorities right. Whill the BBQ fit in the boot?

I guess it doesn't really matter much what people turn up in, being an
unofficial social gathering an all. Was rather looking forward to
seeing how well Edward II would do on a non-Welsh offroad course,
though

B'grit II - that reminds me to install the replacement head unit after
the 'great break-in' when someone (who now wished they hadn't), broke
into Grumble last November...

Still, that'll clear a bit more office floor

The BBQ and camping gear will fit in easily. Might have to hunt a blow-up
mattress, though - I think the one I've got has a leak.

Graham - I've just discovered that I will need to be in Brighton by the
Sunday night (having made it back to Pembs on the way) so we will need to
leave first thing Sunday morning - no trip for us, I'm afraid.

Did you get them on the CCTV footage? Little buggers who broke into
one of my schools in the same week (and who we got on the new CCTV)
have managed to wriggle out of it through some method i dont quite
understand. (though 2 of them were pulled out of home and interviewed
all day on christmas day which is nice )

CCTV footage was useless. I used the 'Huggy Bear' technique.

I'm pretty sure we have our old one kicking around somewhere - I'll
ask Charlotte. It's a double - will it fit in your tent?

some fancy cleanser and make up that she makes me use after a long
session of landrover (or more recently ****roen) bashing because "all
those nasty oils and greases do your sensitive skin no good at all"

questionable. I was thinking of a single one. double might go in at that,
all the way across

does it hold air, that's the main thing. I've got plenty that don't.
