Northallerton way in a little village with just one pub and that's it, which is nice :-)

It would indeed be warmer, also there is the Peak District which is only about 60 miles or so North of myself and rovi, I dont know where any other pubbers reside

[jonjonck] 22/8/2024 21:09

...and will be warmer than Scotland.

[2gekko] 22/8/2024 19:50

Come down South, the Cotswolds are really nice as are the Broads in Norfolk

We could even arrange a Pub regulars meet up

I may use the motorhome in February to go down to Wales. Also I would like to get away in it again before the end of September.

[2gekko] 22/8/2024 14:27

Yes it's windy her too, what happened to summer, you've got the best part a year to get it done and I am sure September will be decent weather

Eight packets of butter, makes you think!

I have my new crankshaft bolt now and was going to replace the pulley today but it is too windy outside to go crawling on the ground and get dust blown in my eyes.

[jonjonck] 22/8/2024 06:47

Good Morning.
Keep it up as that is like 8 packets of butter you have lost. Well done.
LOL trading the markets -- your 'put on weight' classes are not working.

Morning pubbers

My son used to play COD and the swearing coming from his room was worse than when I was in the workshops lol, well it's raining but my treadmill arrived and will be used today, down four pounds now, it reminds me of trading the markets

[totally banjo] 21/8/2024 01:43

Got beat in the pub doubles pool county quarter finals and COD just now, so going to watch Deliverance (again), never ending excitement in these 'ere parts! Oh, on one positive note my two Cannas are about to flower!

[2gekko] 20/8/2024 14:43

Lol rovi you had there for a moment, well it's nice and sunny here now

Chicken Jalfrazi for tea, sauce from East at home and very nice it is too, I also have their Madras sauces

[rovi70] 20/8/2024 10:31

Cloud and sun No rain. Want rain send some down please.

[rovi70] 20/8/2024 10:29

My small electric car broke down the other day. I had to call the AAA

[jonjonck] 20/8/2024 05:56

Good Morning.
Forecast here is for rain to stop and for sunshine.

[2gekko] 20/8/2024 05:22

Morning

Raining here, I've ordered a Treadmill so rain doesn't stop play with my daily walks but may get wet today, hopefully stop soon

[jonjonck] 19/8/2024 11:15

Just back from a routine dental check up ... back in tomorrow to see the Good Mary again for a bit of descaling below the gums.

[2gekko] 19/8/2024 08:03

No it's all electric, I don't know which manufacturer as yet and I think the company wants to add credence to its green policy, all the vans are diesel and we get so many ad blue and DPF problems so it would be good to go all electric on those especially in London

[jonjonck] 19/8/2024 07:20

Good Morning.
Are you allowed a hybrid?

[2gekko] 19/8/2024 06:20

Morning

I must have missed a post somewhere, so the Duster is safe, I'm quite annoyed that my car has to be electric or take the cash option especially as it seems a trip to Scotland may be on in the first half of next year, mind you I'm told the BIK is £9 per month and I pay £125 now, hmmm

[jonjonck] 18/8/2024 16:28

Afternoon chaps.

No not tired of the Duster yet. I love it but taking me a while to get used to driving it again after the Motorhome all summer. The bonnet seems so big and steering so light.

My friend in Carlisle has a Toyota and was singing the virtues of the 7 year warranty.

[rovi70] 18/8/2024 14:11

Yes JJ love it thought I would really miss the merc 3.5 ltr all the bells and whistles of a top model of 21 years old. How wrong I am/ was.SUV hight visibility, brighter lights, comfort heated steering wheel was novel till I found right button to turn it off. Plus plus plus. Added bonus the wife loves it two. Better than the bone shaker old short wheel base rav4. And last but not least 76 mpg on local journeys an 68 mpg on trips into Ipswich, m11 and m25 and sunny Norfolk. Like the seven year guaranty and the Which mags top of the low need for repairs table. And thanks for the photo info took me some time to nearly get it right. Lol.

[2gekko] 18/8/2024 13:32

Are you tired of the Duster then, my company car is due change in six months but has to be electric or take the cash option

[jonjonck] 17/8/2024 22:55

Just looking at the picture of the Toyota hybrid - looks really good. Its really growing on me the more I look at it.

[jonjonck] 17/8/2024 22:50

Good idea for a curry night. I will make sure I am wearing laced up shoes.

Just ordered a replacement crankshaft bolt for when I replace the pulley ... its a stretch bolt so probably time I replaced it as reused the old one about 4 times now.... have ordered one from Ford (genuine part) as half the price of other suppliers and should be of good quality.

[2gekko] 17/8/2024 22:01

I had a friend like that Rovi, he thought he got away with it but everyone knew, tight and did not get invited again, we should arrange a Pub curry night sometime
