  1. i witnessed an elderly man reversing his car out of the drive, he couldnt quite get the angle right so his mrs got out of the car and directed him out of the drive. sadly he had a heart attack and hit the accelerator pedal hitting his wife, he carried on and hit a stone wall luckily we managed to jump in and turn the engine off. luckily both survived but it could have easily been a double fatality

  2. I remember my grandad he was due to go over to Normandy on DDAY plus two he was in charge of a unit that was to handle POW. He was given his air rifle as well as air pistols to shoot any escapees with first. However the allies took so many prisoners so quickly he never made it over to establish a camp in Normandy instead they were all shipped to Southhampton where he built a camp there. i wish i had talked to him more he must have had so many stories from the German perspective.

  3. thunder bolts just drill through the post and wall and then screw in the thunder bolt. we use these bolts to hold timber floors up they will easily secure your fence
