    All the best Mark to you and your family. Dealing with bereavement in life is F-ing horrible, my heart goes out to you all.
    Another interesting video about your life and your thoughts on old versus new. I agree with you on that. Everything is getting far too complicated in life.
    I always thought life got easier as you got older as that’s what my parents told me growing up but it seems to be getting more complicated and harder just to live in the UK.
    We’re all taxed to braking point and I don’t think one of us has seen our taxes improve anything. It’s like we’re going backwards in life.
    I am not as lucky as you escaping the rat race. But one day my friend one bloody day.
    Take care Mark.

    The run up to the funeral is awful ..full of the tension and shock if your loved one's death....my best mate diedl last November...only 59.. pneumonia. He was a work colleague who became my best mate, keeping in touch weekly even when I moved to Normandy just before Brexit ...we were last together in winter 2019, before the Lockdown....Trip to Berlin to watch The Stranglers , then later to watch Hawkwind 50 year anniversary gig at The Royal Albert Hall....we had a frantic to do to get across to Wigan for his funeral on the 28th December....my Wife lives and works as a nurse in Jersey....we had to organise her travelling to St Malo for me to collect her, then the day later go from our place in St Sever to Caen on the 27th, take the ferry to Portsmouth and then drive 6 hours to Wigan for the funeral on the 28th December...we were so blessed by the weather not disrupting the ferries so we could get there ❤️

    Firstly you do made me laugh with your one liners Mark and I needed it today!
    I hope all goes well for the funeral, good to celebrate and remember the fun times. You will still get low times, a song or something will remind you of him, personally for me time doesn’t heal but the memories become less painful. Keith will always be in your heart and soul, for infinity. I have watched a video of you both a while ago, a lovely guy with awesome sense of humour like you.
    Thanks for the laughs Mark, sending positive vibes to you, Julie and Sally 💫💫💫

    Good maintenance does indeed make a difference, And I have found that the brand does not really make a difference, certain types have more problems than others, but as far as those newer models are concerned, it seems to me as if they are specially built to fail more and be written off faster, Just like you say, Too many gadgets, computer junk and software fiddling, I myself have also been driving an old Fiat Ducato from 2002 L1H1 (So the shortest and lowest version) with 280,000 km on the counter for 4 years, but I would not part with it for anything, I bought it at the time for 850 euros, and now for the first time I have some extra costs, for welding bodywork, clutch, brakes, a cardan & play on a front wheel, Here in Belgium we have a mandatory annual inspection which is very strict, so that is why I am now busy with those repairs to the bodywork, the rest is for the garage, For sale, that car is indeed no longer worth doing this, but technically this car still in a really excellent condition, and has never let me down, I can also still tinker with it myself, which is no longer possible with the new one and so repair prices here with us are of course milked heavily and quickly rise in prices, also this one of mine has no options, it is as basic as it can be, even the windows still have to be operated with manual levers (Click link = Video of my modest van) ua-cam.com/video/0L2RKWzHl2g/v-deo.html

    Iv got a 2002 Renault master no dpf no airbags winding windows 😂 nothing will pri it from my hands yes I could buy a brand new van outright but it literally would be only for aesthetic’s it genuinely would be less reliable then my 22 year old beast
