I won't be going off road apart from the odd goat track with Gary Northeast

Hello all

Not too many cylinders working at capacity today. We had a team meeting yesterday at our Bury St Edmunds depot followed by dinner and drinkies. That was all very nice but the windows in the Premier Inn did not open so I slept terribly. Nothing to do with the tequila at the Mexican restaurant or the pints in the remarkable Wetherspoon... Early night required me thinks.

It's a hard life Trevor, but I guess someone has to do it!

Bore da pawb. A lot of rain last night, and a lot of standing water everywhere now - except in our taps. There's a burst main just outside Llanfyllin so the whole town is without water.

I can't even have a cup of tea </sob>
