    Birmingham International 19/06/16

    Just a mention of the Sunday gone, good to see Paul, Rog and Dave, hope you managed to pry some cash out of the punters.... big thanks to Paul (email sent regarding the DSM)

    I was only there to drop some items off and to try and punt my Martini Henry and bayonet.... worked out well until I come across a unit marked 1907 hooked quillion..... so the cash from the Martini didn't go far, in fact all gone now plus the rest of the cash I had on me, but that was the plan.

    Leaving Birmingham next stop was Baldock, Hertfordshire, where I picked up another Matchless, this one being a WD G3L...... a lovely sunny day until heading back and the rain started....... one thing if do leave the EU (which I hope we do) we could start exporting water.....

    Leave the EU.... here here! Learned on Friday that a near neighbour has a 1954 Matchless that he's going to restore. Like a lot of these '.....I'll get around to it one of these days...' merchants, we'll see!
