Like everything else over priced rubbish,funny enough I've seemed to have picked up 3 of the old brooms with wooden shaft and soft ginger bristles from the hotels i did bed bugs for.
@@campervan-john The real brooms always work the best too and will sweep any fine dust into a pile with less effort. I wasn't going to pay todays prices for one, which used to be such a cheap item from any hardware store.
I bet it was quiet during lock down.
@@richardhewitt.easyvanlife.6957 It was. I was working at the engineering place and travelling to and from work took a fraction of the time.
How strange is that, I've been trying to buy a soft indoor broom for ages, every store was sold our apart from the really expensive ones like bamboo, eco ones etc etc, stupid prices!! I eventually bought one from Morrisons, one left £3.00, brilliant quality went to get another been out of stock for months, I just don't get it, anything practical or simple you just get these days, £7.50 is ridiculous as you say.
@@nigel5608 Everything in B&Q is expensive. Last year I wanted a large sink plunger and they only had small flimsy ones at £6.00. I found a huge one in one of the supermarkets at £4.50. No wonder the place is never busy because nobody wants to pay their silly prices.
@@mmwaashumslowww7167I agree with you B&Q is expensive, this is why i miss Wilkos anything practical you could always get from there and reasonably prices, typical of this day and age.
Your getting ready for pensioner, moaning about price. You will be a miserable old git like me soon.😅
Yes, I have plenty to moan about and be miserable. As you know quite well, when we reach the...."we've done our stint" age and start to wind down, you look back and realise that things used to be much better and cheaper.

Driving for a living is a pain these days,I've given up my job just don't have the patience to work my way through traffic.
It is a constant battle these days to get anywhere on our roads today, I totally understand and feel your frustration, I agree with you and I'd done exactly the same by handing in my notice, we only have a short period of time on this earth also to put up with it , if you can survive financially then good for you! right decision made, driving jobs aren't easy.
@@nigel5608 I may need to find something local, that's a few hours and no driving. Pension is measly.
@@mmwaashumslowww7167 absolutely the state pensions are, how you are expected to support yourself with rent, bills etc etc, no wonder some people choose vanlife to escape the burden of bricks and mortar, does make you think 🤔
Don’t blame you.I used to work for general haulage,fighting traffic, tachograph going over hours.traffic got so bad I gave up. And this was over 30 years ago.
@@richardhewitt.easyvanlife.6957 I remember those days, fiddle for diddle this and bend that.
OMG, how will you cope !!!

How odd. It has a camber to the near side. You need 2 pairs of shoes. One pair for coming in with camber built in slightly lower heels,and built up to right hand side. The other pair for going out the other way round.
@@richardhewitt.easyvanlife.6957 The shoes are on order from jake pegg. 😊
Wise choice. Some Russian transmissions went silent on shortwave radio recently, so that could mean they were sent home. Something is definitely a foot.
@@radioweebdx7680 The way I see it is that it will get eaten eventually in times of crisis or not, so as long the expiry dates are observed, then there's no money wasted. Everything is ramping up and they are all preparing for the main event and something new into the mix is France, with no clear direction or rule. Sadly though, my shortwave listening is limited to the odd windows of opportunity when the interference stops. Radio reception is very bad at most times but I do get clear reception if I listen early morning around 4 am.
My comments were removed twice 😂
@@campervan-john I think with comments regardless of what is said, that they touch on topics video related, that toob doesn't like. Many times we will need to check if they stay or not.

Until you meet a DHL van coming other direction on 2 wheels.
@@richardhewitt.easyvanlife.6957 Yes, that sounds about right.
I used to enjoy driving down country lanes but now I just find them a nightmare with constant reversing and pot holes.
@@campervan-john Yes, they are hard work now. This one is little used and is probably why it's in beautiful condition. Best one that I can remember but they were all mostly good, when I was a kid. I don't have a choice but drive down the shite ones doing the job. I don't like it much but it's better than some other jobs.
At least you scared it away before its shite on the car.
@@campervan-john Their shite has ruined the paintwork over the years and I would think that its a luxury toilet for them, compared to pooping on the ground.
Why is this?
This country is overrun with cars these days, it's no longer a pleasure to do any driving anymore. I almost had a crash the other week, as a van pulled out in front of me from a side road and I had to do an emergency stop. I was lucky the car stopped within inches from the van. I don't know how they pass their driving tests TBH.
@@radioweebdx7680 Standards have certainly slipped but a lot of it is they have patience anymore.
Love❤ video , reminds me of walk I do with dog 🐶 through Lupton house 🏠 woods debs xx
It's not a very large area but one of the few peaceful places around. Dog walkers in their droves during the day, quite pleasant if you have the time.
@@mmwaashumslowww7167 this time 🕰️ of year ,with tourists,I have a few hikes I do ,with not many people,hope have a sunny weekend debs xx
Show me the bears please and the tigers

Always nice to find somewhere to relax before the madness of the day begins.
Yes it is and around 8am locals will use it as a short cut.
No such thing as 7.30am. That’s middle of the night when your a pensioner.
Sadly Richard, I can't afford to retire so it's middle of the night starts for me.☹
There's usually only one 7-15 in my day. 😊
Never a traffic warden where its really needed.
And yet in the next town along there are two. Couldn't comment on the bird flu video of yours, usual thing gets removed.
Town centre looks run down.
You are right, it does. Dirty looking shop fronts and just an average coop for a large amount of people. Lidl are building a store half a mile away, for the many that don't have cars. Those that do seem lazy to walk much, hence they park anywhere and get away with it.
Agree with all they want is your money. Dont care about doing anything to help ease the issues. Thanks for the video. The new stat makes me smile 😀
@@lisastives1148 I hope to be able to do Chudleigh at a busy time, a place so bad that nobody is happy trying to get through a ridiculous bottle neck, that the council just ignores. I made the start clip 2 years ago when I started the channel but forgot about it, until i looked through my pc that I don't use anymore. I managed it in one take if I remember.
I used to live on a street like that always something going daily,but where iam now all I see is trees and wild life.
Good for you enjoy, I hope to do that too sometime.
It's the last thing I want to watch, elections, war and an utter bore.
Well beats watching the telly lol
That's nuts. Same in the supermarket put a yellow reduced sticker on it and they'll buy it.
They will that's true. I used to work with someone that shopped everyday to buy reduced items and then normally for the weekend. He said, as long as it's not dairy or poultry foods, then he ate it the same day or the next. Some are only happy if they get cheap or free.
Hi . I have got from seen your Channel. Your channel niche, and uploaded every good video, Congrats! I was finding your Channel. I visited your channel and watched some videos, the content is very good. But due to video optimization problems, the video is not getting viral and views, likes,subscribe and comments. Your problems need to be fixed. I'm a TH-cam Channel SEO Optimization Expert. So I know how to fix the problem.
When I need fuel, just stop at next garage.
That makes sense in your case because of travelling about and there's no point going back to a cheaper one each time. I fill conveniently and cheaper, using the garage that I pass anyway.
There's nowt so queer as folk. 😂😂
I wouldn't be surprised if they have a stash of face nappies in the glove box.
They'll burn 50P's worth of fuel just queueing!
They will but they leave home with their bargain basement heads on.
Personalised number plates bring unwanted attention to any vehicle something i wouldn't have.
They do and people do it for the attention. Never had one or a posers vehicle and never will.
Bisto gravy 😂 Some might think this is a rascist joke though indians love Mercedes

I've known the garage owner for 20 odd years, he has a great knowledge of the village and without doubt he knows every single resident who lives there. I think if memory serves me right, the garage has been there for around a century. Can you imagine the vehicles that have been in for repair over that time. One morning you had the Cortina, a Rover SD1 and a VW camper from the sixties parked outside, nothing modern in sight, brought a smile to my face. Visit the owner regularly, that's my blue Corsa next to the Cortina. Lived in Lustleigh for a while, one thing that used to annoy me was the parking. Someone parked across my front door one Saturday afternoon, another was the amount of times people would do up laces on hiking boots on my MGB rubber bumper. Talk about brass-necked.
He is planning to retire soon, he told me but he needs to do around 17 cars that are for his attention to clear the way to shut shop. That's a lot of work and if he takes jobs on top of that, then he will be there for some time yet. Parking is still erratic in the village and somedays I have a job getting down past the post office store to his garage. It's still one of my favourite villages and much nicer than Moretonhampstead nearby which I don't rate at all.
@@mmwaashumslowww7167 That's my Ford Escort on the rear ramp, one of the 17.
@@davidcoleman5246 Hopefully, it will be the next one to be done, as long as I give him the correct parts and tell him to get on with it 👍
there all good until they break
calm down grandad
Put some miles on it mate !! 😂 there shite ! Like all fords . And that’s a fact !
I doubt that it will be too long before it becomes troublesome, ford has been shite for many years and my minibus was a good example. 1000 plus miles a week I do, too many for it I'm sure.
Proberly they were crap because ,my husband used work for fords robotics,😁 stories he used to tell me.think he tells his stories on one my old torbay kayak videos.have a lovely weekend debs xx
May even not need welding for a year.
Sounds about right ✅
I drove the older ford connect for 5 years while working at a bus workshop garage,I thought it was a good van even driving it with a blown head gasket for 2 years because they couldn't be bothered to fix it.😂. The new one looks nice,even if it turns out to be a piece of crap but hey ho its a company van.
Yes, company van and time will tell.
The roads are to narrow for todays make of car their to wide the wing mirrors poke out to far( Enougth said)
Put an FOI request in and also ask how much they spent...
Having the signage made to cover that road and the other road that I have mentioned, would probably cost more than they spend on pothole repairs. I need to find the reason behind all these signs, regardless of the too much tax payers money spent. I bet that they will say......."it's for your safety" something that I rarely heard, if at all back in the 20th century.
There was a bit if mud and water on the rain definitely a skid risk be careful! 🤣 🤣 🤣
Good observation and that could come into play if it rains. The other road between two towns that I mentioned, I travel 3 to 4 times daily. Its a normal size road of two carriageways and a good surface but the 20mph limit is ridiculous. Because it constantly twists and turns most of its length, overtaking is almost impossible, when faced with some old granny dawdling along at 20mph.
The skid risk is drivers like this driving too fast on narrow lanes
Absolutely 👍 An Audi, I encounter many daily. Always in a hurry, too fast and very few signal and they brake heavily, hareing up to junctions.
The new leader in Wales has admitted theyve made a mistake with the 20mph guff, and nany of them are to be scrappped, a good thing too.
Absolutely 👍 Such a good thing and after the majority of people accepted the 2020 arm juice so readily, they may have thought the same would happen with that.
They normally put those signs up round by me when they are resurfacing the roads with stones that cause nothing but damage to your car with stones chips, cheap and nasty bodge up jobs of roads! They leave those signs up months up after they have been completed, you are right about Audi driver's I have experienced the same.
Re surfacing with a thin layer of tar and stones on top. Rather than fill potholes, they waste money doing that when sometimes it's not necessary.
