Wondering if I'll get to see any idiots on the late shift trying to make off with unpaid items.. hope not, got enough paperwork to do as it is.  Tongue

Had to write up a banning letter for a 78 year old bloke who keeps swearing at staff... friday the police took him away and he was dangling out a bit too much meat if you catch my drift..  ShockedShocked

Second consecutive day my new esti got another towing test, yesterday went and got a trailer body, 9 ft by 4 ft, sits perfectly on top of my existing trailer which is a foot shorter, today loaded it up with rubbish and filled the inside of the car with good stuff.....you could tell it was heavy as it was down on the springs Shocked  Tomorrow for the third day off to Cambridge for a bed for my littlest one 125 miles along the dreaded A14 Embarrassed   40L veg gone into her so running tomorrow at around 85%  GrinGrin

Only difference you'll notice when running veg is it's a liuttle lumpy ticking over when cold. But once up to temp you wouldn't know you were running veg apart from the smell.  Wink

The new bus is the first bus I've had that doesn't do that, the silver one did it loads (to the point of stalling) but much less after I cleaned out the tank t-bag Grin

Veg+cold engine can cause hunting apparently, can also cause lazy acceleration when you least expect it Shocked

The 85% ish veg did make it a bit lumpy this morning until the engine got warm, it wasnt bad...I've heard Pugs sound far worse....with no veg Shocked  Its fantastic to see the nil difference factor on how they run on it compared to diesel.  Done my 125 miles round trip, was back at 12, having done the school run too Grin

Got 9 litre of tescos finest ready. Even at 83p per litre its beating the 120p at the pumps.  GrinGrinGrinGrin

Now if I can find anyone in the area with a Bookers card....

50% veg will do you for now, unless your pump is a reconditioned one.....
