Like the idea of it but don't fancy paying out £90 for the kit

i was around when LSD were in brum opposite the blues ground. SSE were in the process of moving out at the time i started there.

Those were much better days to work there, when they (PRG) moved to longbridge i went freelance. too corporate now.

I was at SSE in the old bus garage, been there for 18yrs now. I miss the breakfasts from Karren!!

Yes, sadly she only hung around for a year at the new place before they got a company in for whatever reasons.

They dont do breakfast at all now, the guys in the shop just take there own and use the microwave or whatever.

Too corporate there now, uniforms and everything!

Red shirts, blue shirts & black shirts!!!! No uniform at SSE

If it is cheap **** meaning low tensile strength/proof tested some one can get hurt,and hurt badly then 20 quid doesn't mean a thing
