My sister's tt broke down in Winsley and we needed to get it back to Monkton Farleigh, I didn't have my rigid bar in the transit this time, nothing at my wife's house, nothing at my sisters friends places, I was about to ask on the forum but found a texaco in BOA that had something suitable...

Mised that, did you see the stand with the Mamods?

I did not... Did you go Ashton common as well?

@HughF
I was going to, but I thought someone was following me, in a battered old RAC van.
So I popped up to my big workshop and hid.

@Maker - Can thoroughly recommend the following

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LOVE-MEI-...se-Cover-For-Samsung-S8-S8-Plus-/122421764574

someone from here put me onto them, wife has one on her s7 and despite several3 or 4 foot drops onto concrete...touchwood..zero damage

I've got one of these for work. The silly clip from the cover has bee removed and a piece of titanium attached to the front so the screen is about as protected as it can be when it's in my pocket! https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/?iid=17261...0&device=c&campaignid=707291931&crdt=0&chn=ps

sorry should have been clearer, was speaking to a mate who had the pictured anvil sitting in his shed, he never used it so brought it up to the railway, no sooner had it arrived than his mrs wanted it back to stick in the garden as a feature and paint it some garish colour. i offered him a swap for my extremely worn anvil that is sat on an oak log telling him his mrs would much prefer it to the metal stand and au voila i have an anvil and stand that are in very good nick and he has a happy mrs, win all round...
