Lost an hour this afternoon because I drove round the back of lockups to clean the back of a house. We used to be able to continue driving down and round onto the tarmac until the boy racers were using it as a race track. The moment I stopped the van and seen the big concrete bollard I knew I was in trouble especially with the rear wheel drive my van has. A few guys came out and helped me by placing fencing boards under the wheels and pushing me out. In the end I lost an hour and think I will design plywood boards that fit together to see if it works by spreading the vans weight. Watch this space!

I just keep going, only doing 7:30am-11am these days. Will take off a few days close to Xmas anyway.

I'm really surprised the team won't help you.    They should know our business inside out to get the software perfect for the job.

Are they really saying they don't know how to use the software they developed?  That's a huge red flag for me.

my plan is to have November off followed by Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, June, July, Aug in fact I may take the whole of 2026 off, oh the joys of being retired
