Yeah I know, I'm really bone idle ;)

I just don't know what I do with all my spare time, apart from spending time with my family, and running two companies, as well as working 42 hours a week as a wholetime firefighter, and being on call the rest of the time as a retained firefighter.

Well that's the problem when people generalise isn't it...they don't consider what other have to do.

the thing about the hose pipe ban [now you young uns brace yourselves ] i don't even own a hose pipe [i know what your thinking -how can he survive without one ] but its quite easy once you work out how a bucket works there's probably a clip on you tube explaining the principle behind this technology, but be warned you must first purchase a large box of elbow grease and apply a couple of pinches of hard yakka .:D

You won't let it drop will you?

We go shopping while our car is being washed.

By the way, it takes far longer than 10 minutes to wash, dry, and wax a car properly.

"young uns"???

I'm 42, martyh is 47. And from some of the posts I guess most of us are similar or older. We aren't part of the the convenience generation, thankyou very much. :rolleyes:
