SWTH Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Folks, I'm currently at a loose end on Thursday 20th June. Before I book the day to do other shit, is there any interest in having a garage available in Cornwall with basic tools for any pre-run adjustments to be made? Tea on tap (supply your own coffee if you drink that filthy shit). I'm located near Perranporth, about 40 mins from LE. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anybody does need the facilities or wants to drop by and talk shit/drink tea I can PM proper directions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWTH Posted June 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Ok folks, as tomorrow is the start of all this lunacy I have cleared the decks and will be around all day with a dry garage should any final adjustments be necessary. It’s only basic tools and a multimeter unfortunately, but there is a kettle and biscuits too. I’ve got a few things to be getting on with, but if anyone needs the garage PM me for my phone number address and directions. Fingers crossed everything all goes perfectly and no need for it of course.... Edited June 19, 2019 by SWTH 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t do that these days - mainly because the guards van is almost non-existent anymore, and also because we’re not allowed to carry anything other than push bikes. Petrol powered vehicles a strict no no because of flammable liquids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People = no problem. Things that people bring? Ah.... At my place our wanky spanky new trains are so bad for anything other than sheer numbers of passenger seated that the company has had to ban surfboards from being carried and are asking people not to being more luggage than is necessary. Of course, when a good chunk of your custom is from folk who are going on holiday to the South West, and especially those who might be going to some pokey little unknown surfing/music festival like Boardmasters in Newquay, completely ignoring their needs makes great business sense 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
