Just stick it on day insurance to get you home. Worry about insuring it permanently once it's sorted.

[Cavcraft]

I can try and punt it on Dave, (I'm sure we can come to an agreement over a split of any profit  ) but I will need it gone by about the 28th December.

You take out a new policy with someone, say like Tescos, you drive it home and then you ring Tescos up and cancel the policy within 14 days and you get no charge.

 

Job jobbed.

I must admit, I have done this, though I think I did get a small pro-rata charge for the days the cover was in place. Rules may have changed since then.

[scruff]

I may have a run to Manchester this week, if I got it back to Stamford for the cost of my fuel would that help you out?

Certainly have.

[Station]

Yes, about 6 years ago!

They all charge an upfront deposit now (about 70 quid).

Ah, I done it last in 2010 when I collected my 1602, I thought that was too good to be true.

[Lankytim]

Didn't you think the sump was borked? Get underneath and smash it with a hammer. viola- undrivable.

8.40  Train from Upminster

 

to Fenchurch street,Had to stand all the way

 

Then walk 3/4 mile from to Tower hill tube Passing Tower of London & the shard on the way

to get tube to Euston Square.

Short walk to Euston where i caught 10:10 train to Chester.with  about a minute to spare.

When i booked my ticket i was offered first class for 80p extra so a rather scruffy Dave carrying an orange carrier bag duly plonked himself in first class much to the chagrin of the upper class troglodytes who frequented it.

Many glares from both sides later i settled in to a lush 200 mile journey with free coffee and snacks.

Arrived in Chester at 12:10.

It was much too early to meet  cavette as he was at work till 2.

So took a slow walk into centre of Chester and had a look around.

Saw this on way.

Had a Whopper & what they laughingly call coffeee in burger king.

Then  made my way up to Cavettes who had said he would pick me up but i had time to waste.

Long bloody walk,

Is the chap in first class praying that an inspector throws out the riff-raf?

Nice work Dave, want to see part 2

[Station]

That is a long walk from Chester!

No, we in first class always say grace before eating our snorkers.

[Skizzer]

I should think you did travel first class.  You're the Chief Technology Officer of a massively* popular online forum.  He's just a guy who wears a tie because someone else tells him to.

 

 

 

*Well, we like it.
