South kyme village speedwatch team are very friendly. They seem to write to me every time i drive through there!

@Fighting_Torque День назад

Ha ha ha that cracked me up. I have a similar relationship with Ancaster speed watch

@Reddeeps-justforourmemories День назад

It's a bit of a one sided relationship.

South Kyme village admin sounds like she’s not our type of people! Hope business picks up for you - that sounds bad hoping the good people of sleaford break down but…. 😂🙈 Also, GDB has a discount code for lights on the video he posted this morning 🤣

@ChrisHipkiss День назад

People don't know what is involved in working for yourself especially those who work for government departments where there is tax money to splash about. When I did work supplying the film industry, they wanted gold plated service for F--'All then made you wait for ever to get paid. Cash flow is king unless it is flowing away hehe!!!

Very true mate, very true

There will be a doll like you with pins in it at that village now you have outed there narrow mindedness (you working class person)😂😂😂 I hate dealerships as they always take the p**s and always charge you for the slightest thing whither you ask for it or not😡😡😡Hopefully buisness picks up soon pal👍

@dennisphoenix1 День назад

I know how you feel about being charged for work you didnt need. I had an iveco 18t hiab wagon, booked it in for a pre mot inspection . Before it i greased the king pins , prop shaft etc adjusted the rear brakes . When i went to pick it up the invoice had grease service and rear brake adjustment on it . I said you have to be joking , they wouldn't release the wagon till i paid in full . Robbing gits . Also do your own servicing in future, parts are readily available. I recommended the cream soda 😉😉

@Fighting_Torque День назад

I usually service everything mate but Ronnie holds 16-17L of oil and I can't get it high enough to get a container big enough to hold that much oil. I only have 2 x 10L containers. I just thought sod it, I'll get them to do an oil service. Wish I hadn't now 😕

@dennisphoenix1 День назад

@@Fighting_Torque I have a pair of ramps made out of heavy angle iron and topped with 1/4 chequer plate for servicing . Alternatively you could link the 2 x 10litre containers together with a piece of pipe at the bottom, thus giving 20 litre capacity 😉 cheers

@GenaF 21 час назад

I love the view from the cab when you're heading to and from a job. I feel so lucky to live in Lincolnshire. Looking forward to the stickers and if you can get me some business cards, I will put them in my Minis for giving out to anyone in need. (It happens) Also, if I could give you some of ours for Mini owners, I'd be appreciative if you could pass them on. Next month a few of us from my Mini group are meeting at the W.A.V.E on the A15 (Waddington Aircraft Viewing Enclosure) for the last car meet of the year there. I believe it's on Sunday 13th October 9.30-11.30am. Any type of vehicle is welcome, hot & cold food and refreshments from The Sentry Snack bar. Dogs on leads are welcomed. There are portaloos but they only unlock 1 so as to save money (I was told), as they only need to pay for 1 to be emptied then 🤢 My friend said it was extremely pungent. If you are doing nowt, perhaps you could pop along? G x

Autumn is here and winter soon so hopefully work will pick up. I do hate when companies charge for work you didn't ask them to do! I was down your way in Lincoln last weekend, I had forgotten how flat it was round there.

@SaintsofAvalon 3 часа назад

HA , i have a village near Glastonbury that won't talk to me as well - purchased a load of papers from the now defunkt Lobbley & Platt auction in Gainsborough from an estate sale . Turned out to have several deeds to properties the old woman had owned including the original sale of the land from the church in like 1820 with the Bishop of wells & Bath old wax seal on . Around 3ft x 2ft old parchment doccument that looks super cool in itself . Tried contacting people on the Pilton village web site and even tried contacting the vicar with no replies from anyone , one was even a local councilor - but nope , not a word from any of them . Deeds relate to an old school house and school that are now holiday rentals and plot of land as well as the old church vicarage and more land around it . Basically purchased the deeds to half the old village lol ...
