Re: Driveway - West Lothian

We had 1100 metres of shared tarmac driveway repaired and resurfaced about 4 years ago.
The best quote was from the council as they planned it with a crew who were in the area at the same time. Job took 2 days and its still in excellent condition today.

Re: Oil Pay cuts.

40% cut this year so far.
general consensus is that we're the lucky ones who still have a job.

Re: Seamens discharge.

If it's to log seatime then you need a Discharge Book. If its just so the Company can get cheap flight tickets then you need a Seamans Card. You can apply through the Marine Coastguard Agency: https://www.gov.uk/get-seamans-discharge-book-or-british-seamans-card https://www.gov.uk/government/publica...

Re: Winter Storage

I rent a garage from the council for just over £8 per week. Depending on what area you request there could be a waiting list but I got one pretty quickly.
50% discount if the applicant is a pensioner.

Re: Now that is an engine.

My old job had me looking after those.
Job was fine but 4 month trips wasn't much of a life.

Re: Big thanks to Murrays in Edin again

I figure it's time to add my fanboy experiences with MMC since I'm now onto my third Lotus. From no quibble warranty work, free clutch fluid replacement and number plates as well as honest information and reliable servicing on the car I can honestly say that I haven't had such good experiences from ...

Re: Central heating advice

We had exactly the same problem at my mother in laws place 18 months ago with a baxi back boiler in the fireplace. We ended up fitting a combi boiler in a different location for about £3200 if I remember correctly. We did away with the separate electric water heating and storage system and I think t...

Re: Croft April 4th

Not much to add which hasn't been said already but I was so glad that I invited myself along! Fully planned on just joining in on the social aspect with the hope of bumming a few passenger rides but was very happy to get out on track due to a last minute cancellation. Struggled most of the morning i...
