Collection mission is go

Step one - Get an early night. Mission fail. 
Step two - set alarm for half five. Mission fail.

At this point I’m stopping any step by step organisation as it’s clearly or for me. Woke at 5:45 by chance got out my pit and walked the kettle on and rolled a smoke. Multitasking (get me) I found some clean pants splashed water on my face and got dressed. Coffee and smoke.

PC - one

Picked up packed bag (again get me) and out ten toes on road.

Well that’s a pissy council stairwell here’s the road.

Bit drizzly that’s fine it’ll wake me up on the walk to first motorised conveyance.

It’s pretty early still local hi street tells me it’s that rare time of day. Pre crack head dawn.

Nearly at the station. Here’s a pic from my home town. Anyone guess where?

Thanks for the poo pic, very informative.

I think this is north of the border somewhere. I'll say Cowdenbeath even though I've no idea where that is. 

The very best of Scottish luck in your c'leksun.

You’re welcome.

Way off there though many/most towns look the same. Am heading north mind. First train took me under the river to ‘the other side’.

That their building is the Equitable. There’s a big clue. I was working in there fitting some kitchen cabinets the other week. Some of the original fittings are still in place.

Another big clue

Good luck with the collection

I was not prepared for a pants down picture.  

I wish you a good journey and hope that you aren't on the pot on the train, only to be unveiled like the star prize on bullseye when the electric door inexplicably opens, mid loaf.

I realise this may be hard to stomach at breakfast time though that pic was pre pants on. Fortunately PC still one so no scat flash to report.

Talking of hard to stomach. 
9quid!

Looks better this side and eats alright to be fair though still 9 quid! Should have made some marmalade sandwiches.

Sadly not though the bars alright and still looks like the bank it was. Pizza is also not bad from the coffee shop on the end. Had one for lunch as the smell was wafting in the open window where I was working and temptation became too much. Was nice getting a look around whilst I was working there for the day as I got left with a pass card so had a good snoop about. 
Cheers all so far so good.

London to somewhere along the East Coast mainline, then?

I have zero idea on the car, giz a clue!

Are you fully taxed, MOT'd, insured and AA'd to the hilt for the return drive, or are you going "Autoshite bareback"?

Bingo.

Something to replace an evil diesel sipping transit that’ll soon cost 12 and half quid to fire up any given day. 
 

Always bareback. I have bought a book and headphones with me. As yet untouched.

Absolute daylight robbery. I feel we need to do a Blue Peter style crisis fundraiser to atone for this heinous crime.

Good read this, only read a few pages as I like gazing out the window watching the world go by. Precious down time, all the better as it’s a Friday and I have a day off work.

Hold tight for live action.

You’ll all be pleased to know poo count has now been raised to a very satisfying #2

I reckon it's a Doom Blue Xsara TDi estate, the rear beam has collapsed, it only unlocks from the passenger side door and the heater is stuck on hot with a fan that only runs on setting 4. Mechanically sound if you ignore that the turbo leaks oil like it's the Exxon Valdez.

'guna 2. Keycard not working, DPF more clogged than Barry White's arteries, paint like a leper victim, four mis-matched tyres including one somehow named after a horse, five ancient dried up Feu Orange hanging from the passenger side airvent which has failed to mask the smell of rainwater slopping around in the rear footwells.

Megane Scenic - all four brakes binding, remains of dozens of McDonalds Happy Meals stuffed into every crevice, drivers door has a gap from where it's been jemmied open when the owner lost the keys, logbook in the post, sellers "just needs" list requires two million euros' worth of parts which are all on still back order from Renault Newark who have blocked the owners number, towbar and crumpled bumper where caravan-maneuvering once went wrong in a wet field in Lincolnshire, crap TV/games console velcroe'd to the headrests with batteries leaking from the remote jammed into the seat back pocket with five dried-up maccie's chips.

No?
