I just find the owners a bit, well, lacking in customer service (to be polite). It's well worth a visit, you can wander as long as you want, not particularly cheap but like walking into a scrappy in 1986 with .

I seem to remember that once you saw rust around the filler flap, the inner arch and rear quarter had turned to dust. There are two in my son's street, one is the lady next door but one to him. A '15' and she is meticulous with it, not just the usual cleaning it but doing her own servicing. First time I saw her she had the air filter and all the intake bits out on her garage floor to clean and was changing the plugs. No sign of rust anywhere. The other is the same colour and there the resemblance ends. The standard rust around the filler very much in evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Fleet managers! Tired of feckless employees dragging the side of your vans along bollards? Fed up with your vans breaking out in rust blisters before the lease period's even halfway through? Have we got an elegant solution for you! Simply enquire about our 'pre-fucked' package and you never need worry about cosmetic damage again!

I work in Birchwood, but often had to stay at Winwick, as that's were the hotels were that had availability. I thought one day it would be really fun to try going across town. An hour later, I was about half way. You tend not to notice traffic volumes increasing until you go somewhere else , Warrington always seem to be busy , especially considering it's surrounded by motorways I quite often think where are all these people going at 11am , they can't all be pensioners , does nobody work any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not open to the public usually and I made a mental note to look to see if there was another tour one day. Got a message off a mate of mine this morning who said he has "great plans for saturday night". I was a bit concerned, but it turns out through sheer coincidence (I've never mentioned the place to him before) that these plans turn out to be that he's got us the keys for this entire mine, and use of the attached buildings that have a bunkhouse that we can stay in and drink beer and have a nice fire etc. Call me a sad bastard but honestly that's about as good of a saturday night as I can imagine.

somewhatfoolish Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Like it or not he didn't cooperate, so was bound to be manhandled(perhaps being huckled was on his bucket list?). Mooning is indecent exposure, a sex crime; the media and activists have spent the last few years lobbying the police and politicians to treat sex crimes more seriously so West Mercia have done that. What exactly would you have them do? GeorgeB and Remspoor 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
