As Christmas is approaching I thought it would be good to help out our fellow Land Rover owners. Winter is a harsh time for tratter owners. Not only do they suffer wiv drafty doors wiv no seals, they also has to deal wiv freezing temperatures inside their tratters. Tratters are well known for not having heaters. Un those that do have em, don't work. So owners have to wear 2 coats and pink leffer driving gloves just to keep frost bight away. Some cuddle up to their pigs whilst driving to keep warm.
Anyways, enough of the heartache. On wiv the fred.
During winter months ere in the UK roads tend to freeze up when Jack Frost has been busy. We sometimes get snow too (yes please). It's a well known fact that road salt is spread on the roads to try to clear them of said frost and snow. Nowt worries a tratterer more than road salt. Their drafty damp biscuit tins are well known fer rusting. And the road salt just speeds up the process. I would therefore like to ask all Freelander owners to take pity on tratterers un help them in their wintery time of need. An appeal fer tratters un their owners if you like. If any non Freelander owners are reading this and feel they would like to join in and donate, then please feel free to do so.
Now yer probably thinking I'm asking fer money to help wiv repairs. I int. Or perhaps asking fer old clothes to keep em warm. I int. I'm asking for something often thrown away. One mans rubbish is another mans treasure some might say. If your planning on giving someone chocolates as a gift for Christmas, or your given some yourself, please can you donate the metal tin? These metal biscuit tins are greatly valued by the trattering community for chassis patch repairs. After a difficult winter just think of the happiness we could spread if every tratterer on ere knew theyd receive a gift of a biscuit tin (or 6) to help them fight the eventual fate of the tin worm. Keeping them tratterering well into the new year.
