Boy's and their Toy's

Spent an hour or two cleaning and polishing my motor bike (1050cc Triumph) It's booked in for MOT next Tuesday.  Now the funny bit, it's done 16 miles since the last one   Then went to the garage and started up the other car ( my 44 year old Triumph Stag) took it for a short spin then put the dust cover on it again. first time out for about 8 weeks. It also only did about 200 miles between MOT's last year.

The good news is the Stag, being 44 years old, which makes it VED exempt, will qualify for the MOT exemption being introduced next May (20th)  for cars over 40 years old, so something less to do next year 

I had an email from our new energy supplier asking for meter readings on the gas and electricity. So I went out and read them and logged on to the site. I gave the Gas reading and looked for the electric prompt but couldn't find one. 

Went to their live chat line only to be told that I couldn't provide one until the end of the month when my new deal kicks in. She couldn't explain why I was able to give a gas reading which also starts at the end of the month or as to why her company had sent an email to me asking for one! Great start to our relationship.

Pointless them asking me and pointless me getting involved so if you were giving points for pointlessness then I would have double nothings!

I was chatting to friends this week, we've all changed energy companies this year, I used UKPower to do the switching, so far so good. Our friends seem to have had suspiciously low bills with the company they chose and I'm wondering if they're in for some complicated phone sessions soon? 

We've been with OVO energy just over 4 years and our costs reduced significantly, average annual bill just under £1k which considering we have a single skin house is pretty good. For us the change was not pointless

Well thats us took another step on the way back to caravanning. We are due to collect our new caravan next month so today we went out and bought a new towcar. Its a vey nice Volvo V70 its 8 years old but low mileage and one owner from new we bought from the same garage and salesman that we have been dealing with for 15 years so hopefully every thing goes ok. Can't wait to get the new van now and get a weekend away in it. 

What has made you switch from a MH?

Hi CY 

We motorhomed for 4 years and  really enjoyed it but we wanted to go back to a fixed bed van and for the price of a 10 year old fixed bed MH we managed to get a brand new fixed bed Caravan and a really good trade in price for our Auto-Trail. Also I missed caravanning so dont mind going back to it

Received a voting form today, from the Electoral Reform bods.

Was instructed NOT to put a cross against my choice but to indicate my preference with a '1' and then go on to indicate  next preference with a '2'. This was a single transferrable vote.

Only snag was, there were only two candidates. How pointless the transferrable aspect is!

Needless to say I did not bother to vote.

Woke to dry and bright grey. Opted to wash the towels after listening to the forecast. Already had a load done overnight.  Went to peg out 1st load, mainly smalls  drizzle 😤. Very wet fine stuff, so what to do with that on hold for the mo. Awaiting towels to finish. Why do I bother to listen to the forecast? Pointless of the first order!
