Don't even know if they are still trading??
Not under that name anyway. The directors applied for the company to be struck off in November

Went in through the garage (the kitchen door opens into the garage) . Had a back (kitchen) door key on me, but the other one was in the lock on the inside so couldn't get in that one either .Didn't you have to go in through the garage....
The guy who owned it retired.How do you even manage to run a Glass and Glazing company into the ground? It’s a license to print money, they call uPVC “white gold” don’t they?
Sounds fantastic!My VE day celebrations were so eventful it's taken me until now to recover...
At midday we set out for a walk to a local village - bit of fresh air, nature etc etc
Upon arrival in the village I thought my eyes were deceiving me but no - low and behold the chip shop was OPEN!!
With seven minutes before closing time I ordered a bag of chips with lashings of salt and vinegar - HURRAH!
To top this glorious moment off the husband produced a few cheeky cans of cider from our rucksack (I love him so much!)
We sat in the park and enjoyed the sun, chips and cheap booze - bliss!
We walked (very merrily) home, it was lovely to see people putting out bunting and having (socially distanced) street parties.
I said to the husband what a shame it was that we hadn't organised this in our own street - just as we turn the corner what do we see!?
The neighbours are on the lash, drinking since midday and starting off a mini-street party!
We happily join and spirits are high!
It's worth mentioning we have very elderly neighbours (I won't mention ages in case I offend anyone..) so kept FAR FAR away from them!
In discussion we mentioned that we own an original vintage gramophone (in fact I purchased it off the forum many years ago!)
We pulled it out and enjoyed the afternoon sun listening to 78's and signing along!
Turns out my neighbours aren't as fragile as I thought (Margaret has got some serious moves!)
As the night wore on we moved away from the gramophone and listened to some more 'modern' tunes...
Elvis was a big hit as well as Queen, UB40 and the likes!
However during a particularly enthusiastic rendition of 'Come on Eileen' my neighbour fell over.
And broke her wrist...
I went into full teacher-first-aid-bossy mode and organised an ambulance, ice packs, blankets and chair moving
I tried to comfort her as much as possible and kept her distracted by talking about her precious dog and it's recent hair cut...
Eventually she goes off to hospital with a wrist at a very unnatural and jaunty angle..
She asked me to care for precious dog while she was gone - which of course I obliged.
After saying our goodbyes to the rest of our neighbours myself, husband and precious dog retire home.
Husband hits the sofa and after a few mins turns to me and says ' I don't feel so good'...
Que the barfing...
I expect it was a combination of beer and gore (he has a weak stomach for that kind of thing)
As I'm sure you can understand precious dog is unsettled and whining for it's owner
But now it's also thoroughly confused by the commotion and horrific noises coming from the bathroom
I tuck husband and dog into bed and hope for the best
I'm not sure who whined more.
Precious dog would not settle and decided the best course of action was to bark continuously until two in the morning
No amount of fuss (or ear plugs) would stop the noise
Eventually neighbour arrived home - sore but bandaged up
I - and a very relieved dog returned home to sleep off the VE day celebrations!
Sounds fantastic!
Worlds longest post 2020 goes to me!
