    There's a local brewer in a nearby town with a shop that sells spirits from all over - I might have a lookout for that :)

    No notebook :(
    Think of the notebook and where you have looked. Now say out loud: "Saint Antony, Saint Antony, return that which is mine". Now look at wherever popped into your head, even if you've searched thee to death already.

    Our next town has a gin distillery and makes a beautiful strawberry gin. I have to get some occasionally (just for quality control purposes obviously :D). Rhubarb gin is a thing of great beauty :beer:.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Z~~ If you are around?
    Remember you kindly looked at wee scooters for me?
    The lite3 is out of stock.
    Can you please look at the lite 4 for me & see what you think? Big thanks :)

    The company I am pondering unfortunatly have no showrooms in Scotland.
    I am unsure what to do as in an ideal world I would prefer to try before I buy. Unfortunatly I seem to be unable to find another one that is a similar weight.
    DEcisions, decisions.............

    Thoughts readers?
    (Not that there is anywhere like enough in the scooter fund yey :rotfl:

    Not having showrooms in Scotland sounds like an excuse for a trip out to Englandshire. Undoubtedly it'll be darn sarf so the hot weather will be good for your bones.

    You may be best off speaking to a salesman, because this https://www.careco.co.uk/item-p-ms01060/careco-airlite-3-wheel-travel-mobility-scooter is one of the lightest I can see.

    You may also want to investigate something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LI12-12-Ultramax-12v-12Ah-LiFePO4-Lithium-Iron-Phosphate-Battery-and-Charger-/122423814678?epid=719328740&hash=item1c81072a16:g:2W0AAOSwc-tY3lF7 as they're a lot better than lead-acid batteries (but they do cost).

    Z~~it was the top one.
    Apparantly there is also an airlite4.
