I KNOW my wife will have the skip on the drive before I'm in a fridge!

The old bag over the road literally did just this a few years ago; it was actually how we found out he had died....
Another reason to never get married!

Hope they have insurance for that old asbestos roof, like the old school Crittal windows though!

Dave
on commercial buildings insurance policies there would and should be an asbestos questionnaire used to confirm that the insured is complying with CAWR 2002, however, failure to complete questionnaire would result in a full asbestos exclusion, that's a sh1t load of obvious asbestos on that building so hopefully they have insurance in place, I think there are still companies out there that make crittal windows

Been in my house for over 30 years and opposite is a pair of garages, until two years ago they were brim full of old carpet remnants, they got cleared out and the doors were painted Millennium grey. 10 minutes ago I noticed the door being opened on one...

We were only discussing this the other day before we got to Le Mans. Apparently it's the only Giallo QP in the UK.
And then we saw it on the way back to Calais.

Sir Drummond Bone I’d wager. Or his old car. He has had a series of yellow Maserati. His Barchetta was red though, with a little yellow moustache. Very nice bloke.

I would guess so, is he or was he not chariman or president of UK Maserati club? I saw his car at Silverstone Classic some years ago when he was in such a role.

Yep. President of the Maserati Club UK. He was very welcoming when we joined 20 years ago. I think he had a bright yellow Ghibli II with the same or similar number to that QP. He was until recently head of Balliol College Oxford, had been VC of Liverpool Uni and my wife met him again unexpectedly through his role at BIAZA which is an animal conservation body. Never seen him in red trousers, although he could have yellow ones I suppose. The previous President, Alexander Fyshe, had very red trousers.

Here, Sir Drummond is talking cars with Boris a few years ago

It was Sir Drummonds. But then it was bought by Andy at McGraths. Not sure whether he still owns it or not.

You and me both newton
A guy once gave me a house clearance business card, I thought I can't have that in my wallet, if I keel over it'll be a toss up between them and 999.

I did a boot sale with my wife a few years ago, I was terrified of needing the toilet because most of it would have been sold for £1 by the time I got back
