  1. Sources are telling me it’s in an enclosure at whipsnade zoo, the pics have been taken down now apparently from fb ?
  2. The only people I could speak to were citizens advice they were great and talked me through the universal credit line all the does and donts got it all sorted a couple of days after filling the online forms in, and a 70% council tax reduction until I go back in June
  3. Hope it turns out to be real for the lad have had a suspected 3 fakes on the trot over lock down period all with photos ?
  4. Think the magpie is my most satisfying kill even though you can’t eat it, nice one once again mrwilkes ?
  5. When birds are nesting it’s an ecological disaster to do this, next year no birds and the weevils will go mental, all the fly hatch’s in the waters will have a massive effect on fish mortality, why the feck is this even possible at this time of year, I had a row last year with the local wildlife trust for ripping out hedges at this time of year, lovely big thick hedges I could almost guarantee putting a hare or deer out of if I run the dogs through replaced with a rustic fence by so called guardians of the countryside, looneys running the asylum springs to mind ??
  6. My Nan had a Ford anglia from new stopped driving when she was 87 and it was in much the same nick always wanted to do the same to that but never got a chance and it disappeared when she passed away, had a mk2 escourt with an early 20 Zetec lump in it with twin 40s instead of injection fast as but still prefer a pinto or pushrod for simplicity and reliability, have you ever seen the power the Harris family squeeze out of them it’s mental
  7. And you were odds on favourite in a police chase unlike today?, I used to do a head gasket on the old pushrods and 20 pintos easily in under an hour in the garden with a few spanner’s and a shitty socket set ?
  8. An AVO logbook means it was made in fords advanced vehicle operations plant and not just another Dagenham dustbin, all early rs and Mexico’s should have a special logbook to show this otherwise it’s just another 2 door ford made to look like one and not worth a fraction of a real one, it’s also running a 2 litre pinto and it should have a 16 pushrod motor in it, originality in classics is were the money is, matching numbers low miles and service history is what you want ?
  9. There is no mention of an AVO logbook with it which is all important, there are loads of Snyd, ones around the avo logbooks still get sold for a couple of grand with no vehicle for this reason, I sold my last mk2 for £400 a purple 16 sport with black pinstripes how gutted am I now ???
  10. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-11861005 One for Walshie here ? just had this pop up in my mail, then I noticed the date ????
  11. Still got a Saab 900 aero locked away in the garage, payed £800 for it years ago as a well kept motor with a full Saab service history, been sat in my garage wrapped in duvets for years probably 4/5k if I sold it now but another 10 year and you can probably stick an O on the end of that, 30/40 years old is when the value goes mental ?
  12. That’s the standard survival shelter that I find on my travels ?
  13. That bear gryls got some answering to do I find things like this all over the place usually a lot less substantial than that one,
  14. Think you want to be looking at a starship and 12mm leads mate, easy to make have done a few myself from old crutch,s ?
  15. I,m actually turning black so I can be a majority again, ? also thinking of swapping the kids for a black one a brown one and a yellow one and launching a career in advertising
  16. And there’s a perfect example of believing everything you are told and talking down your own people in favour of others ?
  17. A very good read especially as they came from just up the road from me and some of the estates and places mentioned in it I’m still walking today, well worth a read and for anyone in Gloucestershire the added local interests as mentioned
  18. Oh yes, getting some good consistency going now ?
  19. Now you no how David ike feels everyday of his life ?
