Have a Google around for some of Adge Cutler's old songs.
When the Common Market Comes to Stanton Drew, Down in Nempnett Thrubwell, Aloha Severn Beach, The Charlton Mackrell Jug Band, Sheriff of Midsomer Norton, Moonlight on the Malago...
Some of my favourites.
I can bring a few CDs to Stourport for a little cider tasting/music afternoon. (Quietly, mind.

Oh for sure West country is all about picking up a plastic container of that cider ! They even sell it in the petrol garages along the A303, my favourite road. I love it out west.

I will look those songs up, I take it a pint of some good cider is obligatory. I love that real cider.. just a hint of fizz, nice and tart, moderate sweetness and a 8pct alcohol kick in your head. Festival favourite that, gets you merry quick and the sugar keeps your feet moving. Suits me to sup less fluid, none of this 4pct stuff. You can drink 1/2 as much and your stomach thanks you for it when your head is spinning a bit in the AFT.
Even less hard on the tum is de-canted red wine in plastic bottle for me, all classy stuff. I cannot drink pints and pints any more (never could tbh) trying to watch me 6 pack
I would like to see the Apple-y delights in your cellar Bob !

Webasto air top 2000?
Hi all,
We are keen to put a heater into our bongo and are looking at a Webasto air top 2000. We were wondering if anyone has ever put one of these into a V6 petrol? And if so, where did you put it?
Cheers!

Eilidh&Andrew , before you put it anywhere I would contact your Insurance Company (not Broker) for approval ,If they approve I would be grateful if you could PM me the Company details.
Good Luck.

Very interesting point i don't recall seeing raised before. I wonder how all those with similar aftermarket heaters are getting on with their insurers. I daresay insurers like at least to know the installation was done by a registered installer?

Especially with a petrol engine.
