x-in-man Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Bought lots of tools from them, topped up the terminal boxes, petrol, stereos and cables, food and drink, washed the car.. Always chatty and helpful people. Big shame they locked the doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a southern fairy like me ventures north of the bridge on a fine Sunday afternoon, only to find themselves rapidly loosing clutch cable tension we tend to panic. At the time I was pleasantly surprised. I was not aware that there were multiple vendors of single open metric spanners at the time. You really are living the dream up there. Plus, if we’re going for pedant points obscure doesn’t mean rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Sounds like some spoiled bastard bollocks to me. 28 jobs to go. And all that time and effort to get it working since 1951 flushed away in one go. Bet someone somewhere is spinning in his grave. And they say smacking kids should be banned!
