Some daffodils out to say Happy Saints Day to St David. 

Two surprises. One was being swept aside on to the verges by a fleet of police motor bikes, clearing a path for members of the Saxe Coburg Gotha family in black Range Rovers to proceed very quickly down the middle of the road. The other was to find that filling a Ruby tank was a whisker short of twenty five quid. Not a special with a ten gallon bolster tank, just a standard Ruby tank.

When I visited UK 10 years ago petrol seemed expensive. Now we pay abot $2.80 per litre, equiv about L6.3 a gallon. Maybe expains why we have so few Pom immigrants nowadays. (Although can run a cheap car cheaply; insurance not compulsory)

[Ian Dunford]

At the moment Bob we are paying approximately £6.80. a gallon.

[David Cochrane]

Filled the Box up on Sunday - 4 gallons at a tad under £32. £6.80 per gallon? Dream on...

[Ian Dunford]

4.56 ×1.51×4=27.50 apprx.
You've either been overcharged, or petrol isa lot more expensive where you live David.??

Last night I rebuilt another T type pump out of the bits I have here. New diaphragm, what look like hardly used disks, New old stock unused top. And a used bottom with a good lever. This can go under the back seat so I don't have to walk back next time.

I wasn't 100% happy with the drive gear on the period dizzy that is soon to go on the chummy, so I found a decent one on what was on a slightly 2nd hand one out of the spares hoard. Nice quick job for lunchtime today. Now to make the leads and it can go on and see if it works.

What a transformation for what looked like a dizzy ready for the scrap!

Ah, I think I was a bit previous there, you only managed to salvage the gear...
