They do quite a range and testing them all took its toll.

Lovely city Oporto. I went there back in the late 80's to recover a broken aeroplane and also did the Sandemans tour. Still have the set of glasses somewhere.

Now there's a Forum outing if ever there was one! I'm in!

Oh, hang on, Aldershot or Mansfield?

Factories! I remember factories.

They used to make things there, according to lore.
I don't believe things I haven't seen.

We went on land rover tour round Halewood, want cheap but was a birthday present, myself and my dad and 1 guide so nice and personal and really interesting going into it and looking at the whole system of stsrt to finish.

I especially found it interesting going into the automotive factory vs the food processing plant I work in

A forum day out sounds good.
You can put my name down on the list, please.
I'm just up the road.....



As a service engineer, I occasionally used to go into Telephone Cables Ltd in Dagenham, the machines putting the multi-strand paired cables together were huge...

So we are based in Ash Vale down near Aldershot - Im actually based in Mansfield but travel down there semi-regularly.

Got a couple of weeks holiday coming up, then we will all be over at the Essen trade show in Germany, but would be happy to set something up for October. I'll make a post about it before I go on holiday and can pick a date!

The only other good thing still made in Ashvale other than Corewire is a curry.
