    That's interesting BenCotto. That means that left handedness is less common for the rest of the year. You're good at stats and figures so what are the odds for and against left handedness for March 8th Pisces folk? Is that possible to work out? Perhaps not.

    Sorry Uff, I peaked with grade 1 O level Maths in 1969. It’s been downhill ever since.

    Man's been, new machine in. Job's a good 'un.
    We put the world to rights as well. 

    Anyone want a broken, silver Indesit one? Buyer collects...
    The only drawback. A charge for removal so he doesn't do it now. I'll have to do the same and get the council to do a collection. Same price for me as it is for him. It's terrible really, when the guy's trying to make a living.  :/

    I could make a feature of it in the garden...  ;)

    If you keep the cardboard box your new machine came in, use it for the old machine, tape it closed and leave it by your front gate it should be gone by the morning.

    If you've got scrap metal collectors in your area, it'll probably be gone without the box. Trouble is, what do they do with the non-metal parts?

    Didn't come in a box @BenCotto. He buys them direct and sells them on etc - ones with scratches or cosmetic stuff on them. The la di da folk of the neighbouring area wouldn't want that :D
    He does a lot for landlords, and that kind of thing. He's a good bloke. The silver ones are all too dear just now. I wasn't paying £300+ just so it matched.  ;)
    Don't think we have any scrappies round here, unfortunately. I'll have a look though, thanks @JennyJ .
    The problem we did have during the last two years was people claiming to be scrappies, then dumping stuff anywhere and everywhere, so it might be tricky to get anyone   :/

    I wasn't talking about the proper legit. scrappies. The ones round here are notorious for illegally dumping the non-metal parts that they don't want. Probably best to pay the council to fetch it, then it'll at least be disposed of properly.

    Ah - I thought you meant the genuine articles @JennyJ!
    I got fed up reporting fly tipping 2 years ago. It was much better last year though. These people are despicable.

    Mind you - I could probably wheel it up the road to the farm and leave it there. They'd never notice another bit of junk in among the the load that's already there...  :/

    The trouble with being able to easily read upside down is when no entry signs or whatever are written on roads, I have to work out who they're meant for. Causes a bit of a dither.
