My brief notes of Tuesday!
So, set of extra early so i wouldnt be late back and can you believe that they had Junction 30 - 31 signed as delays on the M1 south. So was panic to decide what to do.. if to detour or not. And it did not look like there was any traffic build up or delay at all
i figured out if there was no sign of delays really by the time i got to the M18 junction, i would risk still using the M1... and in fact by the time i got there there seemed no delays at all.. but i did see some brakes coming on far in the distance... but they were saying an Hour and a quarter delays..
anyway.. i make a last second decision to go around the delay.. so i went M18, A1, Worksop and M1 South... and it didnt take much time at all really less than half hour i think! and i got on the M1 junction 30 and can you believe there WAS a BIT of a que northbound but nothing at all that you could say was an hour and a half que. They had one lane down and traffic was slowing but moving fine... so i believe i should have risked the M1 as i dont think it was anywhere like an hour and a half delay.. and i think it was an untrue message they used which caused me to alter my route.
THEN got to Nottingham and they had a delay heading west on the A52 into derby which effected me getting off at the A52 to go into long eaton..
Got to Long Eaton and the Warehouse staff had an argument with me over nothing... basically they were just being awkward.. and i have another subject and discussion to do on that matter as a seperate subject of its own.
But some friendlier guys i told about it later on at Tamworth totally agreed with me..
and said not to worry as they were obviously "just a bunch of twats" and i was fine, nothing wrong with me at all.
phew.
Anyway... did some more work, and i had to go to London... Wood Green. and after i did the deliverys, i got back into the van and it would not start up.
can you believe that?! i had done a video earlier completely slagging off Prince Phillip again.. so i was entertaining the idea he sent Royalist helpers to sabotage my van outside the house while i was inside!
or even remotely with bluetooth. LOL.. but by complete luck, i went on the internet on my phone and found a recovery place nearby the postcode and they were out to me in like less than 15 minutes!! WOW! and he got the van started straight away!
But he charged £80 which is very expensive, but it was London and I was on my way again....
The only bad thing is that because i was upset the van wouldnt start i went to the post office around the corner to get the Money to pay the recovery guy and i saw these and i couldnt resist the picture on the packet
and i had 4 of them..
187 or so calories EACH.. so was really dissapointed as otherwise i would not have gone in there and seen those..
Anyway... everything was ok after than and the van seems fine now.. i tested it on a hill later to see if it still started up, and it did, but until then i did not turn the engine off.. just left it on in case it didnt start back up again.
Wednesday...
So Wednesday.... got some Parsley fish balls and mixed with spinach of my own again to try it out.. i want them to make some proper ones with just spinach this time and some with just spinach & seasoning.. id like to try get these perfect to try approach somebody to start making them and selling them properly...
Cal them Great Balls of Fire lol.
Shurely they have to be better than these? Onion Bajhi's? and cheaper??
The spinach tins design is also nowhere near as modern and interesting as these peas pudding with the font and design, for example.
Also, i think the chocolate companies are having a bit of a rebellion with this find the white creme egg competition.. check it out.
