Oh Dear..... you're gonna go all thin!

What Frankie is saying its not about your food intake, but the extraction of two hundred euros from your money belt. Bob.

Try and get them of that electric tariff if you possibly can. RIP off.

They will not allow him to have an account even if I guarantee it, The council house is deemed to be prepaid only. He pays twice as much as I do for an amount of energy as he also pays the shop keeper at the local top up point and the energy company that has the arrangement with the Council to supply their tenants.

He does not like any meat from animals/ birds with two legs, so chicken is out, and not minced meat, steak and ale is good or just steak, but you can never find those options at the cheapy shops.

Aldi steaks are very good, I always get them, last time they were under £4.00 each!

That’s a disgrace

As I wake up after a peaceful night parked outside the garage, once again I realise that...

unfair practice forcing him to use an expensive supplier may or may not work but worth a try

LATEST DEVELOPMENT.

Cripey, Cripey Cripes...

My Hymer Doctor had to buy a Mercedes water pump. He just popped his head in to warn me the transplant was going to be a tad more expensive than yesterday's quote.

Secretly I am not too upset at the thought of having a genuine Mercedes part (even if the more affordable "copy" would probably have been made by the same people).

Not being able to source any make of pump would have been a real problem!

Pump fitted in position...

The fluid fan clutch had been very difficult to remove even after making a special tool.

All on now... with new belts of course.

Mocha had to make this "spanner" to remove the fan clutch from the water pump...

And he used this standard specialist funnel to refill the automatic gear box oil (the oil cooler has to come off when the radiator comes out). He does this through the gearbox dipstick tube.

Final bill was €320.

Of course it hurt a tad but I'll get over it after a lie down.

[Snowbird]

Hmmm, I see welding is not Mocha's forte.

 

[Podney]

Handy ol’ boy.
Did he make the coffee as well?

I feel really bad now. We tried to get to you late oct , but our friend had to go into hospital .So we had to stay in Silves. So no time to get to you. So we have had to bring back some steak fb. We are sorry about that. But the upside of this , we found out we like them to. We will try again next year. Sorry @JJ .

That all sounds very reasonable to me. I should look after him if I were you...

 

[JJ]

But the upside of this, we found out we like them too.

Mr Cruiser,

Are you telling me you ATE MY PIES?

This is a disgrace... how can you live with yourself?

However I do forgive you as I know it is the thought that counts.
