    How great is it that us Scottish modellers can hold a proper RTR ‘yin ae oor ain’ in hand at long last. Braw!

      Braw! - picked up one of the Heljan 05's when they where getting blown out of Hattons and can know feel a Lochty branch coming on.

       

      Regards dialect from Dumbarton to Doncaster its all good once you go north or south of that it gets difficult lol - its a good job the westcoasters speak slowly as the words are all different ;)

    Original Yamaha front brake light switch lasted 15 years. Genuine Yamaha no longer available, neither of the pattern replacements its had have lasted more than ten months.

      2nd hand genuine from breaker might not last 15 years but maybe more than 10 months?

    Waiting on the forecast thunder storm and torrential rain, computer's being shut down along with the fragile modem that shuts down at the least wee spike. All hatches battened down for the mother of all storms according to the weather girl....

    Got diesel @96.9 p litre today- think thats the lowest i've seen in the recent price fall?

      Russ (mines a pint)

      This was at BP Dumbarton (A82) & the Esso opp. was same - seems the Esso stations in Glasgow do a couple of days a week promotion - so it might not be regular but managed to get this price on 2 consecutive fill ups :) - good for the consumer not so good if you work out on the rigs?

    Mention is often made of the generic basic 'shelf stacking job in a supermarket'. I've been looking for jobs for five years and I've never seen an advert for one. Can someone tell me where this generic role gets advertised? :-S

      Russ (mines a pint)

      What about taking a large vehicle driving test their are plenty bus companies who will take on trainees, and I thing HGV drivers ar getting in short supply too - the hrs are shite but then so are supermarkets these days?
