More twaddle

Just heard from the garage that the wrong part has been sent and the van should be fixed Tuesday. Hope so. Started sorting yesterdays type only to discover much keitle and not much of use. Quite a lot of stuff is incomplete and the presses are knackered too. No money has changed hands yet and not much is likely too. I think Ebay may be seeing some of it shortly!

More Stuff, where's it all going to go?


Just collected the type from a retired printer who at 90 decided to call it a day. He's still sharp as a tack, just his hands and legs letting him down. It will all be for sale soon, once I've sorted it all.
Tomorrow brings a day at the workshop - a much needed sort out and clearance.
Received news of poorly van - it has something wrong with something on a car or van I have never heard of, like patoingers or fluff valves. Still sounded positive though!

This Weeks Update


Had to postpone the weeks activity. We were due to deliver an Arab treadle to London, collect a large etching press and deliver from Croydon to Cornwall. Sadly this was not to be. Our largest vehicle has been struck by serious malaise. We are awaiting news good or bad from the Diesel specialists.
Our clients have both been hugely understanding and we have now postponed for 2 weeks.
The business remains busy with plenty of home based work to be caught up on, enquiries and repairs to do.
Hoping to update this blog regularly.
