Went to a Moho show today.
Saw the van, yes sirree, that'll do!
I couldn't afford the show discount, let alone the actual price FFS!

I need a new screen on the wifes car. I am sure its covered on the insurance but unsure if wiper damage is covered (Previous owner) May just crack it to make sure it is covered but almost £300 was my first quote

Bargain. Heated screens are well north of a grand! Let me here you say Phew!

Think our A class motorhome was knocking on the door of 4 grand. I had to pay £90 excess phew!

Look at the lighter section. You will probably find a nicer looking one.

Automated phone answering systems BMP today. I had to ring several places this morning. Each time it was press this number for this, that number the other. Date of birth, say it, or key it in, then instructions on how to key it in. Another one was enter the numbers in your postcode. I seemed to spend an extraordinary amount of time going through this rigmarole and couldn't help thinking how much easier and quicker it was when you just spoke to an operator!

(1) Mice/rats have chomped the seat pad of my Clarke 'mechanics stool'
(2) ...and you can't seem to buy a replacement part

A new stool isn't exactly expensive, but I hate throwing away stuff when it's unnecessary. Seems I will be using the gnawed seat version for a while...

It's not to help you,it's to actively deter you from bothering them.

Faceache marketfarce!
How hard is it to try and sell something without being inundated by scammers and shysters?

Try giving something away for free, it's a whole lot worse!

You think you're being nice, but you end up holding on to shit for weeks when people don't turn up and you get 800,000 messages asking 'is this still available'?'.

Don't do 'nice' anymore!
First come first served for a long time, unless I know you.
Oh, if you go to Cognac, nip down to Barbizeux St H, then over to Montmoreau, then Verteillac. Cracking road!

Strimmers, almost as hateful to store as bicycles.

Is it a metal base under the pad? Is it sponge or more solid?

Either material for the base you could find something similar and cut to size.

If it's a metal base, see how well a strong vinyl would glue to the base and make a new cover?

It's sponge. But I don't want to faff, I want to bolt a new bit on

@Rockburner has the correct approach though

True. I'd make a new seat top on a piece of ply and bolt that to the top of the seat But I like faffing with things like that

Cushion and a bungee cord.
