Re: poorly kwak

... from you since April. I need two bikes so if this one is knackered I have to know so I can plan what to do. I've been a customer for well over 15 years and you've always come back to me quickly, so I'm disappointed that I' have to chase to see what's happening or not.

Blows your mind on what they had to do. 19K British soldiers lost their lives in one day. It brings a tear to your eye. These guys are real heros not bloody football players!

... re-wiring, which is a PITA, because according to current regs. the newer shittier quality cables are better than the old one's which lasted 60 years without a problem. OK...maybe just one problem..but it was a small one, and I put it out quickly. Soot marks are a bitch to get out though.
