Well when you have a part in doing at least one test a day for three years i think i have enough experience to test, we have to follow out full test fault find etc on a board in the yard infront of the boss befor he will let us do it.

I keep everything. Tight arsed Yorkshireman you see. Old DB's are ideal for flogging to equally tight arsed farmers for cow sheds etc. Or indeed flogging to anyone, if you think you can get away with it !

As a haulage contractor mate of mine once said to the dept of transport inspector when told to scrap a trailer, 'Do you mind, We scrap nothing here. Everything is recycleable'

Money saved is money you dont have to earn !

Here endeth the lesson.
