In a similar vein, my petrol car has a small dent in the driver's door, about half the size of my little finger nail. There when I bought it, right by the door handle so it catches the eye. Went to a PDR shop last week to see if they could push it out. Got a quote. They wanted to fill it and respray the door and blend the quarter panel. £587 + VAT! You know what? I have lived with it for 2 years.....it can stay there.

When you next talk to the Benefits section, ask the following....'Is there anything else I am entitled to?' in those words. They then have to tell you, but it's not something they volunteer.

My diesel insurance went up from £265 to £401 this year. Only been with them 54 years and only cost them the odd windscreen. A 'mutual' concern that got out of the business and hived it off to brokers under the ECO banner. Shopped around, got it for £220 with the AA. They are just brokers too. My petrol changes at month end. Done through a broker, who initially quoted me less than half my usual insurer. This year it has gone up, though they have changed the underwriter to save me money. Strange how diesels cost less to repair than 'eco unfriendly' electrics. I know if either car gets a whack, it will be totalled, so I go for a cheaper option, and stuff customer loyalty.

No dog in this fight, but just came across this. Take a look at what he has available. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135028207572?itmmeta=01HW2FRN3SHZR635CPKQVTYP9B&hash=item1f704eefd4:g:5bYAAOSwoeZmJWTh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwPtrFGQ9gMzwmuNvH9Q5hUXX92W6kKmK0MN5Ni7A4zgIz5YySDM27kL1Gl%2B1ntXS16OBrY%2B8nhZNet3soLehVa8KzUD0zRG8u6FUFbX0f2bbj8ZMnwzN4ANsDtwQEdKOv%2F8u9S%2Bw4GV%2B6VcfsGU8d7%2FDd6ILGV4XGfIc3dabpNspedrKXDzRI0k9FRirpRunsUGRCpTTxFDMMT8TrRYhJQ4iikuhQAqGpOTVnQLFdjNRPn4ZrPK4Unim9%2Bxr8IRyCQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_7R4s_gYw Not a plug for him or ebay but I'm amazed he has stayed below the radar.

Yes, I'm with you on that. When I were nowt but a nipper, I had and still do suffer from the same condition. Back then it wasn't heard of and my schoolwork had the odd red mark here and there. I do it with numbers too, something I had to watch as I did many thousand calculations for HMRC entries, and if you got it wrong, you or the importer could get fined for misdeclaration. I've had to make about 4 corrections in this text, so I still have to be careful.

I've owned a few that belonged in a kennel, but this is the one I would like to still own. (Note, this is not my example, but the only one I have found that is identical) TPU 517E 1967 Vauxhall VX-4/90 in Pinewood/Pampas Green with a Walnut and black interior. It handled like a barge in a gale, but it took me on my first non family holiday - with my then girlfriend. I replaced it with a 1725 Hunter GT and sold it to my Best man. 2 more owners before it died and was abandoned by an American. The Council recovered it and donated it to the local college for the Mechanical Engineering dept. Most of them went for banger racing, or just dissolved. Mine was somewhat re-enforced with heavier gauge steel underpinnings.

If it makes you feel any better, prior to DW issuing the kit, I re-vamped both my FROG kits into blue and violet schemes, and everything came from the spares box. Not perfect but nobody noticed at Telford.

Ordered an item on the 11th, and paid for delivery on 13th. No show. Delayed in German Customs. It arrived Ipswich depot this morning so should be here later. I suspect some recompense is due. -
