Vs. New! 

Would have been nicer if it wasn't raining all the time but I've done my 4th cambelt change now and the engine seems to still run fine! 

That old belt looked like it could of gone at any time!

Yep! Especially as I'm fairly confident now it was the original 150k mile belt/waterpump setup 😂 (or it got done at a dealer once which I highly doubt...)

My Friends moved to Saltburn about ten years ago, to escape the increasing hoards of tourists overrunning their home town of Whitby. 

Certainly would recommend a visit!

 

Do you like your friend or not? 😁

Not built on Tyneside though.

@Volksy Sorry if I offended you, I was trying to poke some fun at the idea that your friend retreated from the tourist hordes somewhere where you're advocating visiting.

Bought a 10 litre tub of brown messy fence paint yesterday.

Took it too the shop counter to pay for it 

Cashier saw the bar code on top of the lid. 

And turned the tube on its side to try and scan the barcode by  moving the tub around  ...

One of those times you take a step back !!!!
