I would just like to say

[My Old Landy]

Just like house buying, there are the ones you don't want and the one you can't afford!
Wot about 2ndhand, or were these like that?

Yes second hand, still over £60k for a 5 year old vehicle.

Does Mrs @My Old Landy approve of this filanderin wif non Oval products? Hmmmmm?

She also wants some road freedom

Agreed, there's a few lots in the area that have plenty on offer, all for really strong money regardless of age. What's your budget @My Old Landy?

Do they really get used though ? Loads round ere that never seem to go anywhere at all.

Well, before we went to the show, the budget was vague but under £40k. Having seen what is available for that, I don't want to spend £40k on a 15 year old vehicle!

 

[My Old Landy]

Oh and it has to be automatic so it cuts down what is available too.

I'm out that way Sunday, I'll take a look and report back.

Going on my earlier comments, it'll be inneresting to see what the mileages are like

There were probably over 300 for sale at the show, that's a lot of money just sat there!!

 

[WhiskyLassie]

Felt not 100% since I had my jag.

 

[kevstar]

Is it just me that gets the occasional "500 server error"?

[kevstar]

That's me for the weekend.


Wahoo

[kevstar]

Yer but with bigger mussels & a shaved heed, oh an tighter shorter shorts

 

[Stanleysteamer]

Me too

"Get behind the mule, boy, in the mornin, and Plow"
(Quote from one of my namesake's best songs.)

Only I'd change it to "Get on those blocks, boy, in the mornin, and put up a few more courses." Not quite so poetic is it? Don't scan so well. (Addressing you here now as our resident wordsmith!)
I admire the neatness with which you have cut the blocks on the gable end. What sort of saw-type tool did you use?

The thought of that makes me tired

 

[Stanleysteamer]

Bit miserable tonight.
Always get like this when contemplating having to leave here and get back to Blighty but it is worse since that flipping blond idiot meant that we are now forced to get out before the forces of loranorder pounce on us for having overstayed our visa.

And I realise that this is mildly political, for which I apologise. I am now standing in the corner with my head bowed!

Funny story regarding this.
At primary school my bruv was once made to stand in the corner by his teacher Miss Guy. When there he got the overwhelming urge to pea. Having been naughty and sent to the corner he didn't dare ask to leave the room.

Miss Guy used to change her shoes when she got to school and put the other pair.......
in the corner.
So guess where lickle bruv relieved himself???

And he never got into trouble for it. So lord knows how she found out and what she did about it.

My teacher was called Miss Buckle. Funny names now I think of it. The school was The French Convent in Hull. Run by french nuns. The Mother Superior didn't even speak English.
I got expelled and to this day do not know why although I was once told by another particularly fierce nun that my behaviour was "diabolical" which at the age of 7 I didn't understand. They let me back in on probation.

Tis but a scratch, t cut should probably sort it

 

[derwendolly]

Oh and it has to be automatic so it cuts down what is available too.

October (I think) is the release date for the new 2024 models so many dealers start to offer big discounts on unsold 2023 models.
People ordering the new 2024 models at the big Birmingham show will, for the most part, be trading in their existing vans. All this means a general shuffle of prices in a few weeks time.

It has to be noted that there is already a noticeable increase in the number of peeps who bought during the lockdown period and are now selling as they want to return to holidays in the sun!

 

[Stanleysteamer]

Its Messy

Corrected that for you!!

WTF happened? We thought you was going to live the life of the "well-earned-rest" fellow with lots of time for your hobbies and such.
