Christmas
Well, that time is on us again, for those of us lucky enough (or organised enough) to be taking time off or going away, don't leave things till the last minute.
It's going to be crazy busy everywhere.
If you need anything done get in early.
Every year we get people with caravan and boat trailer WOFs arriving on the last day.
It's not fun when it fails, there is work to be done and we have to tell you we cannot do it until January.
We will close on Thursday December 21 and be back at work Monday January 8.
We wish you all a safe and happy festive season and look forward to seeing you again in the new year.
Cheers all
Gerard
