Thread: Progress on the bus . . .

Mind?
Do I mind?
Would you ask a leper to count to ten on his fingers?
Hell no!

Man but you're pretty quick off the mark mate, I only became aware of this on farcebook around bedtime last night.

When I did I promptly put it in an e-mail and posted it to Coxy (Graeme Cox, the engineer who did the work on the bus for me,) then rang him to ensure he saw it.
Got him out of bed but, and he was a bit grumpy initially, but I told him to tell his missus to go to her e-mails and print it off.
When she returned with the pics there was a silence for a few seconds at the other end of the phone.
It's not often Coxy's speechless, but he was this time.
It really made his day to see it like that.
So we oohed and aahed for twenty minutes patting each other on the back.
He reckoned it was worth getting out of bed to see.

Its been a saga over the last couple of years; but to see it like that makes it (mostly) worthwhile.
Hell; I know I couldn't be happier if I was a hurricane in a caravan park!

There are an awful lot of people we've got to thank for their work, advice, assistance with knobby bits, and also just 'holding my hand' and giving encouragement throughout this whole drama.
Very humbling.

Thank-you one and all.

(There's also one or two who deserve being splunged with a gillican spike...but we won't go there now. Note my comments re bureaucrats in a previous post.)

Thanks Roger!
