Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
The podcast British Scandal recently did a series on this story including an interview with Robin Knox-Johnson.Donald Crowhurst was the competitor that went missing. He'd been sending false updates about his progress while he was sailing around the South Atlantic.
It could be assumed he committed suicide. A Voyage for Madmen by Peter Nichols is worth a read (as is his book Sea Change).
Well worth a listen if interested, this podcast channel cover these 'scandals' well, often finishing with interviews with one of the protagonists.

Haven't had a fig roll of years and had forgotten about them. I now have a hankering form them. I wonder if you can still get them here?

I love fig rolls, I often eat an entire packet as a meal.
They're like 60p in Lidl.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Been assembling all the gubbins for gelcoat & fiberglass repair on the F350 body kit this week. Hit Lowes today for some acetone & a couple of other things.
1 qt of Acetone: $10.99
1 Gal of Acetone: $17.99
Bought a gallon, ain't like it won't get used eventually.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Dropped by the local Sport Truck store & found some floor mats for the F350. Fronts only, but allegedly molded to fit... I'll find out when they show up at the store next week.

Forcefield back protector insert for my Rukka. Should have done it years ago - I'm really impressed with how substantial it is. My separate Knox is now downgraded to use with leathers only

Eccles cakes have a life expectancy that can be measured in tenths of a second once I spot them.
