Sat eating my breakfast, this is the third OAP to try and walk in to the clearly closed branch of wickes. This lass is banging on the door now.  

Surely they've had all week free to go out and buy whatever it is they absolutely urgently need?

I used to dread opening up on a Sunday when I worked at Halfords, it was like Shaun of the dead.

Not long ago, my mother said “I hate going to the Post Office. it’s full of old people”.

She was 80 herself at the time!

Years ago I used to work refitting pubs. They were proper building sites. Fences around, the building gutted, safety signs everywhere, builders with power tools etc

 

Several times a day some old git would wade through all of that, into the middle of the pub and express surprise that it wasn't open, even after walking into a shell of a building

I've driven past this sorry looking Megane on a garage forecourt in Kings Lynn a few times, tyres are flat and looks like it's been there a while, but was quite impressed on checking Streetview to see it was there in June 2016, priced at £1995 then and now down to £1695 if anyone fancies it 😀

Expand  

Drove past this garage on Saturday, and for the first time in at least six years, the Megane wasn't there. Kings Lynn has lost a landmark, albeit not one of its more appealing ones.

I've really enjoyed Junkyard Digs farming series and today came the highlight that I've been waiting for, harvest. I want a combine now.

Also saw the previous youtube video from Kevin today and was a nice surprise at the end he asked Mook (girlfriend) to marry him. Wich was great.

Same, it's a brilliant channel and I really like them! And Angus. 

@hairnet has a junkyard Mook shirt too

I follow several Youtube channels with rural Americans and Canadians and they appear to be great people who I like a lot, Kevin and Mook are like that. And the farming channels are great and often are small family farms with old equipment that scrape through year after year.

Granddaughter, 17 and a month, just passed her driving test first go.

The only one to pass first time of the grandkids, four others had to do it twice.

All five of my kids had to have a couple of goes.

Three to go.

Reminds me of the time MrsDS caught a mole, put it in a empty biscuit tin and drove it up to a nearby woodland, emptied it out of the tin onto the ground and it immediately made a beeline back towards the car so she was try to shoo it in a different direction. Then she noticed people in another car looking at her with utter disbelief. So she promptly tried too hard to appear sane.

Maybe there's a film crew?

I looked at one of Norway's biggest news websites just now and there was a news reel with videos and in the news about a grain agreement from Ukraine, they showed a combine working in a field and of all the combines they could have chosen to show, they chose an old East German workhorse a Fortschritt E517 which is still in use. And I don't know how why this made me happy but it did and yes I need help.

? Oh, I see what you mean. Yup, binoculars, notebooks in n/s glovebox plus other stuff. Loved the muppet who said it should be in white! Made good money too, bought by a scrap dealer who has 30-odd cars in total, 5 parked inside his house. No wife though...

Also brief glimpse of a gorgeous Mk1 Accord in metallic bronze at around 36 minutes.
