A few of you may remember a problem i had with my boat , namely the oil filter could not not be changed because the engine was installed and the filter bowl on the Volvo is sat too close to the hull to unscrew . After several months a \" Remote\" kit arrived and the intrepid engineer turned up yesterday to fit said kit . After lifting up the engine and preparing the job it was found the kit was the wrong one :P . Being in the same game I\'m tickled at the very same excuses I would have used myself , its like the surgeon telling you he\'s amputated the wrong leg but the bad one is getting better . Watch this space for the next installment .

Best excuse I`ve come across (and it was only last week) was actually in conversation with our customer (Airbus) they explained how for a week they couldn`t use their treatments (anodising plant) because ............... a seagull landed in the chromic acid tank and contaminated the acid. ....... We do the same process and have similar tanks (18mtrs length) so that s a one in the bag for future use.

I was at the airbus factorty last thursday..i touched nowt mind Norman lol not my fault

[Norman]

LOL Rich , which plant? (where)

[LING_BASHER]

The BAE Systems plant at Bristol, well Filton which is about 5 miles from Bristol.

[Norman]

haha well well , strange we never met up LOL ....... seem to be spending a day or two each week at Filton mesell. Did you see the concord?

[LING_BASHER]

No i never seen it Norman, i was to stressed as its a right b***h to find the site. I spent most of my time looking over the royal mail airfields and in the office blocks of the RO section.

[Norman]

As you pass the Royal Mail building going toward Filton on A38 just as you get past the Building its straight across, they`re building a new hangar for it I think.
