This one cost £4800 20 years ago, peeling only occurs on leather that is painted from new, where as this one is soaked. Used to offer leather repair as a service to dealers, but packed it in when I started doing more dents.

Morning folks, not a good one, my Good lady had a minor fall last night, didn't hurt herself but went to hospital for tests, I've now heard she's being admitted, because of current restrctions I wasn't allowed to go with her so I'm sat here exchanging texts wondering whats going on.
Sorry to hear that. Hope mrs Dave r is ok .

Wet and windy, a bit autumnal. On Main St this morning a very soggy looking bikepacker was getting supplies from the coop. He had minimal gear and looked properly drooket at 9 oclock.
Calmac local office is reopening next week and we can speak to a real human rather than some remote telephone person with often limited knowledge. The office is now a somewhat sterile environment in a social sense. About 20 years ago it was a busy hub with coffee always on the go and folk in for a chat. One fellow known only by his nickname as was common then often answered the phones,took bookings and dealt with general enquiries. When the then manager retired after many years service it came as a great surprise to most that the person referred to did not in fact work for Calmac but just came in for the chat and to pass the time.

Morning all from an overcast Lydney near the Forest of Dean . We were supposed to be away sailing this week but the championship got cancelled a couple of weeks ago. We looked at our normal holiday places but everything we liked was all booked up. So we have ended up having a short break in a cottage on a farm with only horses, dogs and chickens for company lol. On the plus side there is a pub with in walking/staggering distance 😂😀
£4800.....20 years ago!! That was a lot of money back then.

Think "Falling Down" and "Whammy Burger". Not quite as far yet, but...BTW.....are there any complainers here. I mean, if you buy something eg food that is well below promise.
About 12 months ago I started to think "this is not good enough. OK it only cost eg £5.00 but its crap".
emails are free so I started to let the manufacturers know.........I also let them know if things are above expectation.
I don't spend all day complaining, it maybe once every 2 months.......BUT it works. 90% of the time they respond with a voucher.
EG..... I recently bought 2 pizzaa. One was chicken tikka. Sounds odd but the photo and description were good. It was dreadful. Ruined a meal. About 10 tiny lumps of what looked like chicken. To make it worse.....in BIG letters...."authentic, made in Italy". In small letters "chicken is from Thailand".
Complained......voucher on the way.
Rant over

If you want a "real" puzzle, try Eternity or an Eternity II.
