  6. Hi chaps, As the question has now been asked i think i can clarify things from my angle as Product Development Manager for Dapol. 1) I can confirm that on the subject of Leader designs and plans.............................we have none! 2) I have not, in my 5 years with the company, and to the best of my knowledge, been asked to quote, design or talk to anyone regarding this proposed project. (hence point 1) 3) I know both Joel and George before him have spoken to said parties (Joel on a courtesy visit to shops down south), however nothing has come of this contact. If contact were made with me this week maybe, just maybe, i could hunt some plans/designs out, but development would take the best part of 12-15 months with manufacture at least 4-6 months after development was signed off on. Hope this clarifies things as i know it. cheers Dave
  7. typical eh? You go to work and find work there for you to do!! It really shouldn't be allowed!

      Self-employment is supposed to give you plenty of free time, unlike retirement where you never get a day off... :0)

  9. No fuel today, 1 petrol station only let me have 1.11 litres of fuels (insult to injury i thought) Hardly any fuel available on Merseyside. Shame it didnt happen mid week i could have been out in the sun at home :-)
