Gutted! - Visited wigan today & missed the gaffer!

Journeyed up to Wigan (Atherton/Leigh) today to collect a set of wheels - went past a signpost "Culcheth" immediately it rang a rather large bell in my mind!

If I'd had Tony's number I'd have belled him up and popped round for a brew.

Can't believe I've travelled that far today and missed that opportunity

Done 450 miles between 5.15am and 1pm today, traffic was a little busy on the way home.

that a long way for set of wheels!! couldn't you ahve used shiply.com to get them delivered?

I simply cannot and will not trust a carrier to deliver a set of brand new wheels without them turning up chipped/scratched etc.

For the sake of Â£50-worth of diesel, I'm happy. Would have cost Â£40 min for delivery anyway.

fair enough. and if youve got the time and dont mind the driving, why not!
Sold my crew cab to a guy in bristol, paying my old man to deliver it and make his own way back on the train!

also 40 packs of laminate from enfield to luton for Â£32
I dont know how they can do it this cheap
but its a good service
dont forget the 7 hours of your time dave

Tone - I had to get out of the house today mate, I'd have gone mental if I hadn't.

It was for my own well-being!

Atherton and Leigh won't thank you for lumping them in with Wiggin, Dave. No love lost between those towns!

Next time you journey north towards civilisation, remember to take my number with you!

it used to be Scotland's proud boast that they had qualified for more world cup finals than England
Note the historic sense.
