I love it Jon when you try to be clever putting things on here trying to imagine what I do for fun or work.. You do make me laugh..
But I know one thing I'd never put a picture of my company vehicle outside a pub telling people I've earnt it.
Please though, keep up the good work..
Only working half a day now.

2 Edits later and we're there!

I have no idea what this has to do about the topic.

As for fun I can only imagine you sit on forums trying wind people up while I’m sat in a pub with my mates on the way home.

Funny old world ..

This has been an amusing exchange, and you have all managed to land some pointed remarks, but I must ask you all to now refrain from comments which are not about the Cropredy Bridge open day.

Just wanted to point out that Cropredy is a delightful little village, and if other family members like wandering around a beauty spot you can bring them with you!
There's an historic church and you can sit by the Garage and watch the canal boats negotiating the lock; very pretty.

Next to the Garage is a village stores stocking just about everything you might need for a snack, and there is a tea shop nearby, but ring first to confirm they are open.

Darn it. I won’t be able to come. You’ve got to love surprise Fathers day presents that do not include any reference to “Jensens“

Thank You Brett

This was a real brilliant day out today, as always I didn't want to leave or it to end, waiting untill they were folding up the chairs around me!! :D ..What a great day, lovely to see all the usual reprobates..you know who you are..Martin, Phil Fish, Dave Barnett, Mr Payne, Karan, and anyone I missed out please don't think you are eliminated from the "Reprobate Class"
Cropredy Bridge Garage has certainly changed a whole lot since I was last there and is heading in a great direction in my opinionImage..Many thanks to Matt and Leah for opening up and letting us all rummage through your stuff today!!Image
The newly designed and created CB Interceptor really is a great creation and an eye opener, a credit to their skilled workshop manager that has a great engineering background..He couldn't get away from me and when he did manage to I found him again and babbled on some more in his ears!! Great stuffImage.......GrantImage

It was indeed a very good day (1/2 day for me) and great to see you Grant, as well as Karan, Raj, Steve Payne, Alan Smith, Ulric Woodhams to name but a few.
The high quality of bodywork, paintwork and interior trim was clear to see.
It felt very welcoming and to be able to see FF's numbers 006 and 008 together, along with SINCAR Interceptor number 001 was quite amazing - all under one roof!
Matt & Leah and everyone else involved at Cropredy, well done.

I second Martin’s email. It was a very good morning for me. Thank you Leah, Matt and the team at Cropredy.

I did a straight line with a sowing machine that I was pretty pleased with. Long way to go!!!

Regards
Karan
