Took the lorry in for it's mot this morning, vosa guy says "Only one problem, the brake pipe's rubbing when the wheel is on full lock" he then goes into the garage bay next to where we were & emerges with a mechanic who gets under the lorry & has a look, the vosa guy then says to me "I'm nipping out for a cig whilst this chap does his stuff"
Mechanic disappears back under the lorry then has me putting full lock on again then emerges & gives the thumbs up.
Vosa guy comes back, gets me to put full lock on again then tells me it's passed.
I called the mechanic over & gave him £20 "I don't want that mate it was only a little job"
I insisted he take it as he had saved me the cost of booking the lorry back in to get the repair done, then the cost of the retest.
Got home & neighbour over the road came over & asked us if we wanted a caravan to go in the field, asked him how much he wanted & he replied "Don't want anything, it was father in laws & he died two weeks ago so we just want rid of it" he even put a new gas bottle in it & a new kettle.
Taking him a crate of wine over when he gets home.
To Crown the day off I nipped out to buy a new watch & when I got home Bev informed me that Thatcher had died.
