What did you do to your van today?

Opened Brunhilde up briefly to reset the alarm after the Sat Nav made a failed suicide bid by diving from the interior mirror :oops:

I wouldn't be leaving that on show ...big temptation for some addict to nick & sell for a quick fix.

Why does it have to be an 'addict'? Are they the only people who steal things? How do you know it was on show? The screen blinds can be drawn. Making assumptions, I'm afraid.

For the record, we do have people with addiction problems in the neighbourhood, and, if I'm cleaning Brunhilde or similar, some will stop and pass favourable comments on the M/Home. Towards the end of last Season, shortly after buying the ebikes, I was struggling to lift the bike off the Rack and adjust a new Fiamma Size 3 Supporting Arm. The lad with drug dependency problems insisted on helping me with the dismount of the bike and waited to make sure that I wasn't going to damage either the bike or the M/Home rear panel. He could have just walked on, leaving me to struggle

I am often parked up with both addicts and alcoholics and to date I have never had any problems of anything being stolen even when it’s left outside or doors unlocked. 👍
 
Should have been heading off to Staffordshire but postponed until next week due to the weather, went into the van to unload the fridge, pump running and frost stat triggered on hot water dump valve, hopefully as water was still draining the pump will be ok. Will be testing to make sure next week 🤔🤔

Sorry I Spoke!!!!!
 
I noticed Diesel and Petrol prices seem to be dropping a little. And Kerosene (Heating Oil) also. But Autogas (LPG at the pump) maybe going the other way? Not put any in for quite a while, but bought some yesterday and was £1.20/litre :(. Last time at the same place (Lindesfarne Service Station) it was £1.00/litre. Are the Autogas prices bucking the general trend?

Morrisons in Kirkcaldy 79.7p per litre, David, and only a short diversion from/to the Rally at Lochore. Haven't checked Asda at Kirkcaldy but may be a tad cheaper

EDIT Asda Kirkcaldy 72.7p per litre on 5th March according to mylpg.eu

The Lindesfarne station is the only one within sensible distance from me sadly (sensible being about 25 miles). Cost more in diesel to go to a cheaper place than I would save on the Autogas*.
Was totally out so needed some, but decided not to fill up. I'll try one of those Kirkcaldy ones in April to do the fillup and replace what I used in the meantime.


*FWIW I am refusing to refer to LPG bought via a pump as "LPG" as calling it that creates a lot of confusion and misleading information (Gadget John, anyone?).

Sorry, David, I was probably guilty of an assumption! I knew that you were attending Lochore, so was pointing out the price and availability of LPG locally, not suggesting that you make a special trip :cry:. Another 'I knew what I meant when I wrote it' episode; I'm getting rather good at them ... :oops:

No, I fully understood what you meant and appreciate the the heads up for a cheaper refill next month (y)
My comment was really lamenting the fact that there is no one close that sells Autogas (and before the cries of "Morrisons" are heard ringing out, the photo of my Gourmet Pastie was taken in a Morrisons carpark right next to their Petrol Station.).

Used the Lindesfarne station as I was fully out and it was just an extra 10 miles from where I was (Berwick) so worth putting some in rather than switching to the Flo Gas Bottle, which would have been even more per litre of course.
 
Went to the seaside (nearly - about 1/4 mile away) today and had a gourmet meal in the motorhome after a bit of shopping.

Now I don't want you guys to feel jealous so don't scroll down to avoid disappointment ;)

I have one of those utensils, I tried to put it on Ebay and the tarts blocked it.
