All to do with the world using a lot less paper over lockdown apparently.

Don’t believe that

It does that. I planted a sapling last year, the bugger's 4 foot tall now.

I assumed it was because millions of people spent last summer sitting in their gardens drinking their furlough money and realised how crap they were so they all wanted new fences / decking / sheds etc, demand for timber outstripped supply, prices rose accordingly.
I don't think most offices use much paper since they got those darned computer things, they store information on floppy discs nowadays instead.

It’s all Solid State these days, I’m told! SWMBO may disagree though

Funnily enough the Daily Telegraph have just done an article on the subject:

DIY boom sparks shortages

You'll learn very little from it that you don't already know, though!

Had a tenant that wanted to fit a EV charge point, which then necessitated a new DB and company fuse upgrade.... The firm turned up in a nice 21 plate 6.1, and a T6 rental.


T6 party........





They'd only had it two weeks, the Indium Grey one, and had a break in that's just been mentioned in the previous posts. I'd never heard of this method of break-in before.



Made a mess of the side door......

That's how they used to get into Mk1 Golfs 40 years ago, which is why so may had retro fitted armoured door plates. Mostly to cover up the damage. You'd have thought Volkswagen would have come up with a better way of protecting the handle from being pried by now.

The plates cover the damage but do nothing for protection. I won`t say on here, but maybe slow them down by a second or two.
The security locks sometimes save the day, but not always. It saved my tools, but cost me a panel.

Arse. Scraped my rear alloy. Had these refurbed a couple of years ago, and I've managed to keep them mint until now. They are slightly ridiculous 10X20s on the rear. I'm normally so careful. My wife on the other hand is on first name terms with the local wheel refurb company.

My van was attacked just like that before I bought it from VW. Got to say they did an excellent repair/replacement.
