TB or not TB, that is the question. We shall find out on Friday.
 
Driver CPC Training, Driver Hours and Tachographs. Thankfully it was a wet day Saturday so besides having to sit in a conference room for a day no time lost on site. Driver CPC one of those things you have to do, 40 hours in 5 years. we choose 8 hours a year, tried the full week once and we nearly had murder on our hands!

Thanks for Fossway Hire of Shipston on Stour, Tallis Amos and WE Sutton for attending and making up the numbers. The chap who ran the course Russell Harrison did an excellent job, so much so we are in talks for another session later in the year . . . when its raining!!

As it was a 07.00 AM start I thought I would be a nice "hostess with the Mostess and do bacon baps for when everyone arrived . . . not sure if I will be doing that again. 17 on the course, 10lb of bacon and 48 baps later everyone was ready for the day ahead!

Using way more than expected. Luckily it's a good friend so at £12 a bale it's not breaking the bank.

I've got first dibs on MB when he retires, he mentioned today retirement in 5 years so best start saving :sneaky:

It will be cheaper to buy it now and let him run it for next 5 years for free.
Classic stuff is going up faster than I can save pennies. :(
