And heavy and underpowered to boot - but it was elegant in a stubby way. We had two. Spouse's brother had the bigger version, the Renown. Oh happy days!
It was. And very easy to drive and park. I acted as chauffeuse for an artist friend who lost his licence through elbow lifting and couldn't live without his car. I had the use of the car when not driving him and he filled the enormous tank. ISTR about 12 mph - it was the automatic. I also drove his Super Snipe which had a glass screen between front and rear windows - to stop the sheep licking the back of the driver's neck.
Yes, but their business depends on large numbers of people buying things and taking them home by car so the cost of the car park should be absorbed as part of their operating costs. I doubt if their expensive home delivery service could cope if all the customers used it.
It cost them money to build their huge sheds but they don't charge you to walk in through the doors (yet).
Well that's what all shops do isn't it. Buy in stock, add a percentage to cover their running costs like rent, rates, energy bills, staff wages etc plus a bit more as profit and then sell it on, for big sheds like IKEA the car park is just another overhead.
No, shops wouldn't be able to stay in business if they didn't cover their overheads and make a profit. If shops didn't add a percentage to the prices to cover overhead costs they'd be offering the goods at cost price but need to charge everyone X pounds as they walked into the store to cover these costs regardless of how much (or little) they bought - somehow I don't think they'd get many customers, especially in Ikea's case when you invariably have to go back several times since everything you want isn't in stock.
Well I know it costs money to build them, and I can walk into Ikea, look around without buying anything and walk out without having to pay anything but I don't know if they might start to charge in the future.
I believe it was alleged earlier in the thread that TfL had something to do with it. That being the case, it's politics, not stupidity, and there are some people who claim to be able to tell the difference.
I skinned and paunched it the other day, the pelt went into a bucket for washing. Tonight I put it in the tanning solution. The joints are in a marinade and might be roasted tomorrow, if we have company.
I've also finished washing a fleece, that's back breaking work. It's now drying. From here on it's all Spouse's, he'll card and spin it. He prefers to spin in the grease but it was full of dags ...
Tomorrow I'll skin the pheasant and deal with those skins.
All new to me, I had to get stuff from a taxidermy company, their catalogue is fascinating!

BTW, I have two posts in the drafts folder for you, I might mail them, if your addy is genuine.
