Just realised I purposely let my 180backhoe CPCS expire this year, after having it for nearly 20yrs.. I think I’m competent enough without a plastic card to show!

I keep on top of my 180 ticket, purely for the reason it's a good go to if I ever end up very quiet/stuck for work.

40kph box and soft ride, it drives lovely until you come to a hill.To be fair I doubt it will loose that much money so worth persisting with it for a bit. What's it like on the road? Suppose you probably only go a few miles for a job
About as good as it gets without a modern 50kph machine with torque lock.

Yes. That's ture. Was a good earner for me back then. You could get done for 12/1pm, signed up for the day and do a job on the way home.

Yup. Still meh. Prefer murpheys, less sweet.
Had a night sampling around two dozen Irish craft beers. Utter rubbish I’m sad to say. All refrigerated, over hopped crap.
The worst was a DIPA. Apparently that stands for double ipa. Couldn’t take more than a sip- was like drinking dettol. Absolutely foul.
Currently drinking Smithwicks red ale. Nothing to write home about.

In the seriousness of it all, I've lost who's got what available and what the que position is.
I do think I want to go down the backhoe route again so I would like to join the que on the case at whatever the last position is.
I've a 432 to look at but it's well worn, so I'd rather explore alternatives.
