Thanks for all of the ideas. Many of them are really tempting, esp. the hollidays. My auntie gave me the answer. A Lambretta scooter. Reykha has always wanted one of he own. Well I have 3. One which is complete (sx200 mine), and 2(Li150) which I am slowly getting spares for. I am in the process of buying her a GP200 in her favourite colour, red. Just under £2000 and am waiting for DVLA to confirm ownership and milage. I am pretty confident since it is presently owned by a fellow bike club member. I will have that bike here, as soon as I have the word from the DVLA. Thanks to all. Baz |

Pop in and see us. Seen quite a few of my Lambrettas this weekend. LD, LI, GT200. Still tempted. Sold my Bonny Mike "Baz" wrote in message ... Baz wrote in : Thanks for all of the ideas.

[ http://www.niwaki.com. ] Looking at that site I recognised the step ladder which Monty used when pruning his HIGH hedge on Friday night! I noticed that ladder, and was wondering if I should get one of that design. Currently I work rather too close to the top of my existing steps for some pruning tasks, and caravan roof cleaning. Clearly I don't want one that is too big, but since the safe standing height is 2 or 3 steps from the top (what do they put the other steps there for?) I'm not sure if I would be any better off, and could end up with an expensive white elephant that was unwieldy and difficult to store. Chris -- Chris J Dixon Nottingham UK Plant amazing Acers. |
