    hi folks,
    first i would like to apologise to everyone that has sent me a pm or email in the last 5-6 days. i have NOT been ignoring you, i have been working down south since last sunday evening and only arrived home an hour or two ago.
    i am shattered to say the least, heavy driving coupled with hassles, extreme heat, then thunder storms etc takes its tole after 6 days 😕 :lol1:

    i saw many sign firms on my travels, if anyone spotted me ide love to here. reason i say is i heard horns peep on two ocassions and thought, eather someone recognises the van or its my dodgy driving. :lol1:
    one sign company that did ring a bell was vital signs. i was sat in traffic outside what appears to be your house. (not sure) if it is our own UKSG members van. was a transit with vital signs along hi-top part. oh and that was in plymouth or exiter i think?
    i went to Northamton and fitted various signs, then onto north London, cant remember the exact place but next to madam tusauds, moved onto Oxford, then Exitor, then Plymouth. loved the scenery and places. Plymouth was real nice till the fork lighting started. then it was back to gloasgow :lol1:

    anyway, wont bore you much longer, just thought ide apologise for those awaiting replies from me via PM or email.
    i have 350’ish emails in my main account and i have yet to check the sites “contact us” account 😮 … please bear with me. i will get back to everyone. i promise.

    :lol1: they are killer trips i must admit john.
    we try keep the work down south quarterly and pile them up. i wasnt even back and we have been told how pleased they were with the ones i put up at the start of the week they have another 10 depost needing same 😮 well new depots that is. i have altered how thier signs have been getting made. so i think it must be to their liking. makes fiiting better, faster and the sign will last longer. so we all win at end of day 😉

    moving unit? pheeew… think we will stay put for now. low rates, rent etc 😀

    welcome home mate. no idea of the distance you travelled mate, but 6 days away from the office is a stretch anyway.

    Hi Rob and welcome back !!

    6 day round trip – you must be knackered.

    I didn’t see you wave as you passed junctions 35/6 on the M6 :cheer: 😉

    I thought you might have called in for a coffee (I can make a decent cup of coffee unlike a certain UKSB member I could mention :lol1: )

    Glad to have you back.

    Have a rest, you’ve earned it!

    HI Rob

    Next to Madams house it’s Baker street m8. i spent many a night walking around their underground checking the tracks 🙂

    And as to the Irn Bru McRod came down and when we went shoping to the little Spar shop, i did ask whats missing? THE 8 ROWS OF IRN BRU 😮

    i love the stuff but down here it’s not always easy to get in the small shops and in tescos they only have a small supply of it 😥

    oh we also dont exept your toytown brown money either as Rod found out to his disgust a coupel of years ago :lol1:

    Anyway welcome back
