What an awesome B-list of cars! Prolly all collectors pieces now I'm thinking about getting an old mini. But feck have you seen the price of them?!

Haven't they just?!! But tbh the lada considering the price tag was a nice enough engine back then too.

ps A pasty is serious pre sandwich peasant food, the crust wasn't even supposed to be eaten, it was to keep dirty miners hands away from the food they ingested and then decarded. The potato is to add cheap calories. It was common for any left over dinner to be made in to a pasty for lunch. The queues at the ports are because a french company won the port contract and refuses to staff the UK properly. Hedges are brilliant organic fencing that support a bazillion bits of natural wildlife. Multipacks are not allowed to be broken down and sold as separate units in the UK. The packaging states just that. The not proper "dough" on your pie in that pub towards the end is roughy puffy pastry. A very old and delightfully more difficult pastry to produce with lovely results. I adore Sammy Millers, he came out and said hi when I visited. Lovely place. They make you arrive stupid early at a ferry port so they can group and load the vehicles fast. The first tranche usually get on first and off first. Annoyingly sometimes its last.

Nice little edit on your post there Pedro. Not cool. But I've come to expect that stuff from you. Sometimes it's good to accept your interpretation of something is based on a small experience rather than a wider one. I might well come across as "full of myself" for daring to offer a different point of view. and yet other people come across as untravelled, quick to judge and rather intolerant.

I thought that about the Enfield but apparently they'll steal anything to rag it about then burn it lol My lovely mechanic had his broken down bike stolen. He reported it to the popo. They rang him two days later to say it was on the side of the road. He went to collect it, it had a full tank of fuel and was working... he'd left it practically empty and couldn't get the bugger going

Put it through the business and keep your personal income as high as you can but under the awful tax thresholds.

Christ almighty. Someones been down the vino. Full of crap means someones lying. I don't think anyone who's posted is lying, and the laws the law. Is it enforced randomly? Yes Do the people enforcing it understand the rules? no Does joe public understand the law? nope Does it happen to brits living in the UK? yes, regularly. The CCTV stuff is also covered by the entrapment laws as well as our data protection rules. The wonderful cash cow that cameras are may not have fully arrived at your shores yet but they're making their way there. Slowly creeping their money making evil down Spains main roads soon to be at a place near you. The difference is by law we must be told about them, the rest of the EU nope you carry on up the fine worthy khyber. Got points on your licence? Bet you didnt even know the camera was there.

Hmm another confirmed nut job joins the affray. Zzzak.. paging Zzzak, your people are assembling.

You cunt

I'll think about it

It's certainly random. But the law isn't. The length of blade, the way it opens, what it's stored with indicating it's purpose are all factors. On the farm I carry a much larger than allowed in public blade of well over 7.62cm but that's ok because it's deemed reasonable for the job. It has a purpose. However if I went to the supermarket with it in my overall pocket it's no longer legal cos it's not necessary to have a large knife at the supermarket. The very large supersharp kitchen knife I carry when travelling is stored with other kitchen equipment so that would also be seen as a reasonable use. Even a can of hairspray carried to damage another person is considered an offensive weapon. It's all about what's considered reasonable and necessary.

Being old is good for insurance up to a point but crime rates in the area your living have a massive impact on the price.

I've lost a knife to security and recently (just in the last month) a bloody corkscrew! I got a fabulous full body massage by one set of security in front of everyone this year focussing for what seemed like forever on my chest! Mr Slowly said after wow that was weird, I was gonna come over and intervene but then I realised it was a massive turn on so I left her to it! Twat

You did.

Yerp. Rule upon rule upon rule. Got to the point I didnt even look at the thread.

Hear fuckin hear! But Pete deals in click bait, it's his job so I wouldn't take any of that seriously. The knife being confiscated I'm sad for Pedro but at the same time you have to have some respect for the laws of the country you're visiting. We have had strict laws about offensive weapons for decades. He was lucky it wasn't the police, then it would have been a prosecution. The rules on the type of knife you can carry and for what purpose are clear. They tend to pick on people who don't look a threat to make an example of them in front of other travellers. I've now lost count of the number of searches I've been subjected to! Mr Slowly they won't touch with a barge pole! The poo, yep that wudda been dog poo. Human poo is done in places no normal person would go. Natural raw diets for dogs are extremely popular here and as a consequence shit just don't stink like it used to

I've not moaned, I've found it's transition from a well discussed, well entered, well engaged with topic dwindling to a tiny pool no-ones interested in very amusing. Just wanted a recap on how things got to where they are now.

Well the greedy fucks just shout "cost of living crisis" and put your price up. That seems to be how it works.

No feckin way?

Like most businesses a large portion of it is run online or over the phone. The physical solving of problems requires dispatching the right monkey who is happy to dance to the right tune. Sometimes that is me or Mr Slowly but most of the time anyone with half a brain will do. That's why I never know how long I'll be away for because any phone call can be that crisis you have to physically be there for

Hmm So how is Pedro now in charge of BOTM and why is Buckster not doing it? Did I miss something?

Excellent. Lets see BOTM through the eyes of six30 That would be funnier than watching BOTM dwindle to squeak under Bucksters rule

Cheeky fecker. You can travel and work at the same time. Just cos you sit in front of the same PC in the same chair declaring incapacity due to your wifes lack of mobility doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't know how to travel and work at the same time! Made it to the netherlands didnt you? Any clients fall off a cliff while you were away? Nope? Nuff said.
