    Ade has gone from fruit signs to working with some real peaches!
    Love the Bulldog one, it has a decidedly American feel.
    😉
    Love…..Jill

    Like the outline/coach-line look on the Hacker van and the Sinclair van centre
    Gives it a bit extra quality.

    Ade, as I’ve come to expect some nice looking work there and also pretty varied jobs which shows you can cope with most things a customer might ask for.

    Keep up the good work but lets have more fruit jobs, don’t forget your grass roots :lol1:

    Nice work as usual Ade, however……

    I wont be helping again. Not after being made to work with Scotland’s crossest man AND having to squat in a pool of tramps pee for most of the job.

    Never again.

    Well, not til Monday at least.

    They’re shooting me out of a cannon to fit the next job…

    Great selection of jobs Ade, you sure do make some fine signs.

    And Gareth of course for coping with angry Scotchland man.

    But Ade, do you really have to use Gareth to mop up Tramps Pee 😀

    Ah! That’s why I was asked to help.

    I was wondering why every time I asked if I could do anything, he’d just say…

    ‘…no, no, you just kneel there a little longer, you’re doing just fine….’

    **Actually, in all seriousness, I just stole a line from TV’s The Thick of It, no crossness was forthcoming in any way shape or form, they’re a great bunch of lads. (…stole a line from TV’s Father Ted back there, so I did)

    Well, I’m working indoors with you on Wednesday. I hope for all our sakes you don’t create a little pongy puddle for me to kneel in during that job.

    I wonder if anyone has tried using it as an application fluid.

    Hmmm…..

    So, did you put some in the spray gun, pull the trigger, spray some all over some vinyl, and then step back and say ‘look everybody, its…….’

    ‘….covered in p1ss!’

    Hi Martin, i trace shape on to paper or application tape and use that as a template, those vehicle outlines are never 100% accurate.

    thanks for comment

    Martin, I use to do the same thing as Ade, make a paper template and then at the end of the job mark which van it’s off and stick it away in case I needed to use it again.

    I hate cutting on customers vehicles so this always helped.
