a fairground life
I think I have discovered why the roads are always dug up, why there are always buildings work and other constructions going on continually. Civil Engineers thats why, they come out of where ever all qualified with nothing to do, they get board easily and cant help but look at things with a critical engineering eye. They need a project to keep their minds occupied and when it sunshines they want to get out of their offices. Thats why all the roads are dug up during the summer hols when everyone is trying to get to the beach! I suppose its not all their fault, after being stuck in education buildings for 4-5 years and doing mock projects continually it must be hard just to switch it all off in ones mind when they graduate.
"r" it seems is no different, things that were fine today are sub adequate tomorrow.The sun came out, he was sick of being stuck in his box (control booth) and needed a project. Thats why he has fitted a new super spandangle filter (donated by shiny shows) with viewable contamination level and not one but two solar panels to the Foden to top up the batteries during idle periods.
I suppose in the end he may be right, but would that mean that the previous setups were wrong? He should have been a mechanical engineer, at least that way I wouldn't have to worry about a flyover in the garden or a bypass through the living room to the kitchen.
The filter is very clever, as the contamination increases the fuel rises until it reaches the change filter mark. The level in the pict dropped to only a few mm after the engine reached running pressure. In fact it was so low I thought it would airlock but its been running fine all week.
The other picts are of the miami with digital print vinyl. you can just about see the front of the paybox too. My personal fav is the you tube panel on the side of the paybox.

Hello Mr Showman,I thought "r" was mechanical after all that welding he did (which passed your close scrutiny)The filter is a good idea plus the solar panels and he's got a HGV license sounds like you have a good partner and a real grafter there, I didn't think he was civil, but I think he's an asset, the pay box malarkey is just boredom but to be fare does he want to be in the business he might have other Ideas. As far as civil engineering goes they always close off roads during holidays but it sounds like you've been stuck in road works showman if you have you have my sympathy,by the way when are we going to get a snap of the bp with the new panels on.

edited last post as requested john. if you open the picts in a photo app it might show more detail.
oh! and you were right about the road works-stuck for ages on m8 late one night when they closed 3 lanes to tar a small pot hole. Not only that the run up was about 3 miles for a works area of about 50 yrds. Now whilst in Egypt I saw a man fix a similar hole. no road closure,no cones,no steel toe cap boot (he was wearing open toed sandals),no hi viz vest, no hard hat, no overhead gantry warning signs. He simply stood on the white line of the dual carriageway and did his work in between traffic passing. I know this isn't right but it shows one extreme to another so there must be some middle ground. We are drowning in nanny state red tape, but there is hope- an old saying is "if you give a man enough rope he will hang himself" so hopefully the miles of red tape that have already been dispensed will eventually get wrapped around the right place.
Ah! I feel better.
Didn't expect a reply so soon Mr Showman very kind thanks. I know the amount of graft you and "r" and every one else associated with servicing of it put in but the bp is looking in great shape, an excellent job well done,hope it means plenty of bums on seats for you. Thought you'd had chew in road works its the same old story a bit of fine weather in the holiday season and they can't wait to make the motorist have it. I worked in Germany (despite all that is said about it the war and every thing else) is a lovely country but they seemed to manage road repairs at night and they didn't last long and where usually completed straight away. I think our mess is because they are done by agencies and not councils correct me if I'm wrong but I think the other way was better. The nanny state which you and I are in total agreement with should be sorted out in the general elections, I think Scotland getting it's own parliament was a step in the direction getting away from the English idiots who profess to look after the country but are only using it to fill there own bank accounts. There that's my half a tablet. May the sun always shine in your back garden, Flatty
good work "r". wont be long until u lot are down in deepest darkest borders showman lol. how is ur bro doing cheers borderer.
