    I have about 2 kneelers left, but will try to get round to my customer before this meet, and collect a load more. Looks like the jumbo size is the most popular with Biff, yourself and others after them, so I will try and get a good few of them. Yellow to go with Gul?

    Hi Biff, I didn't know about your work situation until you posted this. Hope you get sorted very soon. Can you still make this meet?

    Hoping this week I will have some good news over a decent permanent job with a decent title, prospects & benefits package mate. If I do the car will be back on the road & ready for Gaydon & this meet.
    Cheers mate.

    Best of luck Biff, hopefully we can raise a glass of coke to your new job at the SmokeStop meet...

    No jamesy, not any more! I've ££££ myself this last 2 weeks, I feel guilty I've dropped us in it while the mrs is on statutory maternity. £113.70 in job seekers isn't enough & apparently we've earnt too much for tax credits!!??
    I've made a decision & it's not contracting. Hopefully if it's good news on this job I'll be on more than I've earnt contracting.
    Mechanical Quality Engineer sounds a good job title to me though, especially in a thriving industry. Very excited at the prospect but hate this feeling of not knowing & being unemployed.

    Sounds good, the oil & gas industry is far from thriving at the moment, but I don't know how to do anything else ...as I said good luck to you sir

    Apologies again for thread hijack folks, if I was back in the UK I would love to attend your meet, you have a beautiful part of the country down there...as you were!
