I just needed a bunch of stainless shim washers at a set size, either buy from ebay for 10x the price or aliexpress for straight from the same manufacturer considering 99% of ebay items are dropshipped and also get a lot more to future proof my needs - plan to use them for future 3d printed items as I often default to 6mm for hardware so perfect for when I need small consistent gaps and they make good smooth surfaces for like a compact thrust bearing. It amazing what you can use a simple shim washer for outside it's original purpose.

That's why I order more than I need! Still not as bad as when I ordered the 0.5mm thk ptfe washers, out of the 600+ 2 of them were 0.3mm thk but the right x/y dimensions so no idea how they managed that unless someone loaded the wrong sheet at the start

I am in shock.
I was just woken up, by a knocking on my door.
I threw some clothes on, to find an official person who handed me a letter.
The company I worked for has gone bust.
No warning or anything.
I am now waiting for the arrival of a second official person , so I can empty my van.

That's grim news, I know the feeling, I was once told at midday I was finished at 3pm as the company was in financial difficulties, I really hope you get what you're owed, I lost thousands in owed pay and expenses.
With your knowledge could you set up as a fire safety consultant?

That’s dreadful news. I hope you get sorted in the future.
I take it you have checked directly with your company to make sure it’s not a scam?
Best wishes for the future.

I've been there, half way through doing a timing belt and the foreman walks out with some guy with a clipboard and called us all around and told us we were gone bust. We weren't even allowed finish the jobs we were in the middle of doing. I felt really bad for the customers who's cars were just abandoned on the lifts.

All company e mails and phones are being diverted.
Boss, who lives in same town, company car is/was immobilised.
2 office staff, 4 engineers are retained to finish up outstanding work.
Then the company will be merged.

Go online and check your National Insurance contributions are up to date.
If you get taken on with the merger, don't forget TUPE regulations (transfer of undertakings, protection of employees).

It will be going onto a new chassis for one of the other Landies next year.
It will be moving to a different location in the garden as a storage shed of Landy bits for the winter.
Get me some room in the workshop.
Just plonked it together before the rain today.
