I had one of those, except that it was due to my National Insurance number being fraudulently used 'on the Northern border of Wales'.

I think Mr. Gostude may be working at Hatton's second hand department! They have also got a Britannia with no tender for more than a complete Britannia. Finger trouble? Perhaps the Lima 26 was meant to be £41 and the lister wasn't looking, or they thought it was a Heljan. You could always query them if you wanted one.... Earlier on they had a formerly red "Polly" that was blodged all over in black for £14 and a R157 Diesel Railcar and Trailer (with good box!) for £37. Reasonable prices compared with fleabag, but they've both gone now. 3 minutes ago, PhilJ W said: How much! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255572992723?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11304.m43.l44813&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=e5e1354eb11b4aa688a36ce5124acdcd&bu=43396631508&osub=-1~1&crd=20220619221905&segname=11304 They do look nice and very decrotive too! 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lovely man, straight as a die, a true rough diamond, not to be messed with, a sight to behold driving around Barry in the roller in filthy overalls with the window down and a trail of smoke (from the cigar) that Cheech and Chong would have approved of, but always good for a cuppa in the brakevan on a cold day... 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't you been watching all those annoying upcycling programmes on TV? You can repurpose it in your designer loft apartment (damp old factory with the bricks and pipework daringly exposed daaahlings....and nothing to do with cheaping out on plastering) You can use it as a er, not very practical shelf (or block a gap in a hedge) Unlike when it was in a train and drunk students can try to use it as a hammock (I did...) 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What beggars belief is the costs the artisans levy to impose their frankly crap vision on the various pieces the programme-makers pass on to them. Quickly followed by the prices paid for the ensuing upcycled tat. They're just another TV programming waste of time I give a wide berth to! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
