My caravan advert in Autotrader has attracted the usual nutters:-
  1. Can I pull it with a Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 petrol?
  2. Will you accept - "about half the advertised price"
  3. I haven't got a car yet, and nowhere to keep a caravan - but could you deliver to Hemel Hemstead for me?


LOL Yeah the Corsa is well known for it's towing capabilities. Some people just haven't got the foggiest idea.

Good morning all.
Bright and breezy here this morning, looks like the sun may make an appearance

I'm out delivering prescriptions this afternoon/evening so, let's hope the rain holds off

That was a good weekend of sport for GB. Well done Lewis and Andy
Did anybody watch any of the wheelchair tennis at Wimbledon, absolutely fantastic

Not quite Rod... I've got a couple of questions: Does it have an auxiliary heater? Can it be towed by a 1987 model Leyland Royal Tiger Doyen- with Gold Crown specification?

YES - to both
  1. Gas or mains electric fire, with blown air to under seat vents - and we carry a seperate electric fan heater too.
  2. It only weighs 1450kgs so I suspect your 1987 model Leyland Royal Tiger Doyen- with Gold Crown specification wouldn't have a problem.

Absolutely - to be honest, the lady from Hemel Hempstead sounded more like she came from Mars

My two regular stupid comments are .

Punter gets in and says Queen Street .
I say (station ?).

They say of course .

I say .
You do know there is a Queen street !.

They say oh is there .

I say yes the station is there..


Punters get in and ask for Grand Central station which as we all know is in New York.

I say do you mean Central Station ?.

They say of course !!.

.

Punters ....

Brain dead.

There is a passenger i pick up most weeks and have for many years.

She chats away and knows me well.

Yet everytime i reach her street she says " turn right here".

I must have conveyed her home about two or three hundred times .
