    Re the national trust. Does anyone know how much they knock off the entrance prices please ? Also apparently if you join the Scottish national trust it is cheaper than the English one and you can visit the English ones too.

    Good evening all, well what a day at work I've had today. Driving in that wind was unbelievable, van being blew all over the road, bits of trees everywhere, debris blowing everywhere, saw someone cleaning the path outside a subway where the roof had gone.

    But the hardest part was at my calls, I have 34 calls that I call at and serve customers at my van to sandwiches etc, the side panel ( or flaps) as us drivers call it, opens upwards :eek::eek: well as you can imagine with that wind blowing the flap was indeed flapping, there is a lock on it but the wind was so strong it keep unlocking, so I'm there trying to hold flap in one hand serve with the other hand, getting nowhere and then having to ask some customers if they could hold my flap please 😱😱😂😂:rotfl::rotfl:

    Yes I've had a laugh, and as you can imagine the comments are unrepeatable, but oh my do I ache now I'm home. Nice soak in a hot bath in order for me.
