Would the Spalding area be called slightly Spalding?

Thanks for the thought, Richard, I am actually pretty close to the National this year!

Hmm, interesting, what has he got hold of now?

nothing very exciting just bought a new set of tyres (classic Fiat 500 )  for the Bruetsch but will have to get a carrier to pick them up for me. not sure how obliging the ebay seller will prove to be . hopefully very  :)

I am glad to hear it. These days you need to get as much value as possible! Not sure I can think of a wheeze to shift Tyres from Combeover, Slightly Spalding, Lincs but will bare it in mind.

Hi Richard ,
      Have you tried Shiplyuk ..look on EBay & if someone is going in your direction with an empty van They pick it up . I got a chair from Somerset for £40 to Bromley Kent . They bid for your business  & it pays  for their petrol on the way back .
         The chap even rang me .. you leave your mobile once the price is agreed & they check if its OK to deliver .
        Interesting concept .. quitegreen in fact  !!
