Thanks, Tescos alright though isnt it. I am guessing you used your plumbing skills doing your fuel pipes on the Cavalier Greig?, I wouldnt minded doing something like bodywork repairs if i was learning a trade at college that or mechanics.

Aye sure did. I learned to weld being a plumber too (gas and stick) as ive done all sorts of plumbing/heating/ gas work with the last firm I worked for. From changing a tap washer in a house to fitting 18" steel gas pipes in a factroy to all the pipe work, plant room and bathrooms in a castle that was getting turned in to a hotel .Ive done it all ;)
