Talking of desirable residences created from retired hearses, I like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mk-3-1991-Fo ... SwQN5aWLil
I like its price less than I like the vehicle, but that must be a typo.. I'd have it at £750! Or would if I fell out with my lovely neighbours.

(Quietly makes a note of John's address in order not to come within a hundred miles of it.)

Sorry, it must have stuck in my mind after seeing your reference to it, yet I had forgotten. Once I hit 53, my memory went west I'm afraid.
I don't know how I'd get anywhere near to GHT's house, I think that the court order is still active and the police would surely come...

thanks for my laugh of the day!

john, you know you need these in your life

Uh-oh! Rich, you bad man! Would you have me spend money on more automobile-related paraphernalia that I probably don't need, but one of these would potentially enable me (finally!) to destroy the sis-in-law beast's "Wicked Willy" mug and provide her with a most acceptable replacement from which to drink her Horlicks on her (decreasingly frequent ) vists to my place.
I would choose this one for her:



And this for me:



It changes from plain black to the WD40 livery when filled with hot liquid, so maybe she could have that one too, full of actual boiling WD40 ideally!

i know you have a slight drink problem , but hot wd40?? you need to see a mechanic

It tastes a lot like being kissed by a slobbery dog that's only just finished a long motorcycle ride, but believe me when I say that WD40 has more right to call itself a refreshing beverage than to call itself a penetrating fluid!

Please fellow forum folk, do not drink WD40, it's probably not a good idea and my earlier description of the taste is based on {accidental) experience. I would, however, give H some as a joke, because she once had me drinking something far less pleasant without realising what it was. Let us just say that she told me it was out of date Lucozade**..


But I actually found you another breakdown vehicle and it's a wee belter too, none of that rusty Transit nonsense here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PHOTO-THAMES ... SwO9JZ6wpl
Only problem that I'm seeing there is that buying a photo of something is probably less logical than taking a photo of it for yourself.

**- It was in fact out of date DIET Lucozade, an altogether more sinister substance than the sugary original type.
