Sitting in a lovely Country House having a beer.Their dishwasher is broken. Engineer arrived. 60 second look said he needed his tools. Back in with hammer and a screwdriver!
16oz claw hammer, 12 “ straight edge driverWhat size hammer? And was it a Phillips screwdriver or a GS.
The dishwasher is silent and the “engineer” has gone🤪🤪Can you hear banging, industrial language or worse; the sound of air being sucked through teeth?

A Bedford CA van in our case.Did they have cars in those days?
The name Bedford brings back memories. In the mid 1960s a group of us apprentices used to go out around Loughborough for drinks on a Friday. One lad had use of his Dads cammpervan and 6-8 of us would pile in. It was like the one in the picture below.A Bedford CA van in our case.
They'd abolished the man walking with the red flag, but old Bertha with her 3 speed column change wasn't much quicker

Dad's first CA was a split screen van, no side windows, no seats in the back and hand painted with grey tekaloid paint.
When we undertook our annual pilgrimage to Caister on Sea we travelled overnight with us kids lying on top of a mountain of camping gear in the back.
Our fortnight holiday was spent in a large tent, communal living at it's most basic 😁
Sounds about right for the time, we all have these kind of memories when life was more 'basic' but definitely more fun and memorable.Dad's first CA was a split screen van, no side windows, no seats in the back and hand painted with grey tekaloid paint.

My son is a park home manager and called out a plumber to fix a washing machine , After a while of doing nothing my son said why don't you fit a new stop valve , the guy replied do not carry them so will have to send off for one. Lucky or unlucky my son gave him one and told him how to fit it !.Sitting in a lovely Country House having a beer.Their dishwasher is broken.
