  1. There's still occasional exceptionally good shogun Pinin's about with minimal rust - a smaller version of the Pajero with the same 2wd/4wd/ difflock boxes in some of them. You'd need to be able to check underneath any you look at because some are even worse than Jimny's.

    I know this for a fact as I buy some 'project' Pinin's and currently have a 5 door one in progress with NO rust on the inner sills where most go, no rusted strut tops, no rusted front crossmembers and no mention of rust in its MOT history. And no sign of welded repairs anywhere.

    I don't think its ever been used on salted roads. I bought it from a farmer who'd had it sorned for a while and let his boys learn to drive in his fields before they totally burnt out the clutch so I had to get it recovered after they used a tractor to get it out of mud.

    We have to do Trade deals around the world following Brexit one of those is the new agreement with AUS. 

    Sheep farming will become largely unsustainable without grant aid as we move further into the new FTA. Imports are currently increasing and limits on those imports are scheduled to be further removed. UK farm subsidies are moving from direct to environmental which makes sheep farming even less attractive.  It will likely result in reduced food prices that was a key benefit of Brexit. 

    It provides an opportunity to ditch sheep farming and move to other more profitable environment based activity. 

    It's a win win. Cheaper food, more emphasis on environmental protection. 

    Best not forget the Irish potato famine. In the event of another war we get dragged into we'll not be able to feed ourselves - nor our military. That's in addition to not providing our own energy - nor steel for that matter. Our island could be blockaded and underwater power cables be cut off. We are being led by the nose into our own demise. All at a time of minimal military levels and major threats from larger well equipped countries.

    I see a multi slippery slope pattern emerging alongside the dwindling patriots among our changing population. (That being the tactful polite version)

    They have admitted to doing it for money. No chance of them falling out of a window or a quick death, before a trial. I suspect they will suffer an agonising imprisonment for many, many years.

    I think they's admit anything under torture.

  4. My brother had prostate cancer - was told he will die with it rather than because of it. He dumped all the junk food like vegetable cooking oil, margarine, white bread, sprayed off cereals, most commercially baked foods including pasties with pastry made with margarine and a few others and its cleared up. Now cooks with lard, and eats organic blade cut rolled oats for breakfast instead of the ultra processed type. I'm beginning to think the increasing amount of cancer about might at least be partly caused by all the junk we eat, trustingly thinking that vegetable oils and marg for example is supposed to be acceptable.

    Well I posted two Jiffy bags last week 24h post and both recipients still haven’t received them . Means I’ll refund of course but you pay for a service and don’t get it and the RM don’t give a hoot

    That's unlucky - I ordered a part from Mitsybits at rotherham 2pm yesterday - it arrived by 24 hour post at 10.45 this morning.

    And what of the hypocrisy? 
    Saying others in his position must call a by election then when he’s in that position refusing to do so? 
     

     

    Times have changed in the last few months - barely a month goes by without seeing the Tories sink even lower into a cesspit - away from his liking.

    Umpteen Tory voters have become disenchanted with the party and I imagine many of his constituents will be voting REFORM even if only to get more action on Brexit - as per the Mandate Boris won the election on for them - and migration.

    Sine the main parties are continuing their move to the left, I would suggest it is not Lee leaving Labour and then Conservatives, but rather the parties leaving Lee......

     

    With regards resigning and calling another "costly" by election (which may not happen before the proposed May election date), if he is still representing his constituents who a lot of are now supporting Reform, is he still not following their mandate as we vote for the person, not the party?

    Indeed - he's had the whip removed by a party that used to be on the right for being on the right - so is now contemplating joining a party that is further right than the now only vaguely right tories.

    I call that standing by his beliefs and not being afraid to speak them: is moving to where he can air them more freely.

    with the current voting system ...aint never going to happen

    I'm thinking along the same lines - except that now voters have felt so mugged off by the two **** big parties they will rebel and try another party at least parading as having british interests at heart out of desperation.

    Hamas shielders will also be diluting main party votes courtesy of the scottish troll with a lot of mouth.

    With two decently supported alternatives there may now just be a chance to break the ConLab fixed menu.

  9. I watched some of his State of the union address this morning. Apart from a few very minor stumbles he was quite lucid and confident in his lengthy rousing statements and didn't seem to be reading an autocue. Maybe he's got a bit of health recovery going on.

    Or you can take up the offer to PM me your email address and I will email you any updates I put up on PW a day before I do so. That to me is a solution that meets your needs, is it not?

    Sorry but that's even more of a malarkey, the forum members have to wait a day for breaking news or other information? So the membership funds get screwed with again for an odd couple of people? I'm not very good at being tactful - and sometimes feel plain English is better.

    Not being rude but sometimes people just have to bend a bit and suck stuff up done in the name of common sense practical expediency.

    Now come on, we've got used to your interesting Narfolk based spellage, but now that you've started repeating yourself, some of us are wondering what's going on................................

    If he don't post seven times a day he gets withdrawal symptoms. :-)
