baring in mind that was done by hand in about 20 minutes it's not too bad haha. I'll man up and get a rotary on it, then some polish etc.

It will come up well with a proper mop. Also try a finer paste

Take the scenic back to the person you bought it from, but dangling from a crane. Then dangle it above him, (or his car if you don't want to go to prison for murder) then proceed to have it dropped from the crane.

Hmmmm....that doesn't get you out of this hole though....oh well, it's a good way of showing you displeasure ;)

I have helped my mum remove a couple of dead pigeons from her chimney in the past, We just wrapped them in a couple of bags and popped them in the wheelie bin

Bags or newspaper work well accompanied by a wheelie bin :)

I'm not sure if you can buy it monthly as it were. I think you can pay for it monthly by DD. Not sure how it works if I only want to take it for a few months at a time. I can't believe the DVLA will allow people to just tax a car for, say, 2 months of the year if they wanted? Anyway, she's got to go in and have the skuttle and a few bits sorted so not too worried. I never have her on the road past September anyway.

The only thing i'm not sure about is if you have to commit to 6 months or 12 months when paying DD Surely you could tax it, pay the first 1 or 2 instalments and then cancel it?

That's what I would do, Ben. I'm sure I read you can just tax for a month or two though.

We used to do meet ups at the horseshoes on the a5. Not done anything for a while though. If theres enough interest we could get them going again.
If you need anything I'm not far from Shrewsbury
