From Air to Eternity

I have been very lax with my blogs recently, but there is a very sad reason for this poor state of affairs. Skidmarques has suffered a terrible loss of one of our team in the most horrific of circumstances. Such is my grief, at this loss that I could not bring myself to write anything [...]

Hot News.

Picture a luxury hotel discretely perched high in The Alps, snow clad peaks, an obvious metaphor for the cloak of secrecy thrown around the edifice and grounds. Rayban glazed men in dark suits, guard the perimeter, whispering short, meaningful messages into their lapels. Only those authorised enter here. Inside, two factions much settle their differences [...]

We’ve noticed some worriying changes in Mong recently. He stands in his litter tray and paws aimlessly at the wood shavings in the corners, and [...]

In the spring a young man’s fancy……..Part2.

Motorists in and around Brentwood, Essex will have had their lives enriched by seeing our company’s Mercedes Vito van on their travels. Our Vito is a 150 Compact tastefully wrapped in Rob James’ wonderful design which has been skillfully executed by Ian, Chris and their partners in sign, at Morgan Signs, Brentwood.

I appreciate that in the Austere Times in which we find ourselves, [...]

Some bits At The Side

No lectures this week, just some news and notes. A  few days ago, ourvery good friends at Eastern General recovery bought us a rather distressed elderly gent and his Fiesta with a puncture.
