    Methinks the site is broken/breaking again. Strange goings on with threads being updated with nothing new and losing posts.

    Mrs Del is gone out and her parting words were "there's only 3 inches further to the dishwasher from the work top"

    Whatever could she have meant?

    Farmer in my discussion group had pigs up till 10yr ago. He used to sell some pigs from the yard and a group of polish lads cane in and killed them in the yard. That was his last straw then. Two big sheds empty

    Start taking the keys out . We heard the digger starting one day followed by a bang . We ran up and a young lad sitting in it and 3 of his buddies legging it away , he was frozen to the spot with fright and couldnt move .
    Lucky he didnt flatten his mates

    Went out one evening and tractor was inna different spot to where I always put it. I was surprised, but thought I must have left in the middle of the yard the evening before...

    Then, a while later, a neighbour rang me, and told me he heard a story down the local... Local alco crashed the car in the middle of the night not far from our place, was walking past, saw the tractor in the yard, took it, dropped it back the next morning.. FFS... :mad:

    Always take the keys out of it now. Ot that it wouldn't be too hard to start anyways, but it might put people off...
