hi john sabourn #692
good morning, you hit the nail on the head regarding british paints, they have im afraid been brought upto european standards, ie the chemical base is no longer substancial for the product to even kill the ants around your kitchen door, ( not like good old lead paint ),
as for business ideas with cappy, ive asked him to look out for any old caravans he can find, the cheapest possible, and the idea is to site them on the cliff edges of the worst erosion spots around yorkishire, and rent then off to dinghy divers, with six month deposit up front , ive told cappy we will make a ( killing )

hi john sabourn #697
good morning, i refute that claim, i always wear underpants, as when i change them every month, i always donate the worn pair to deserving causes.

hi john sabourn #699
good afternoon, your correct in your assumption that after passing them on to cappy he then passes them on, but i believe he has a mens clothing hiring business its called, ( By Appointment ) but he only keeps them on hire for twelve months, i believe he is trying to get the royal patronage, as purveyors to the royal family, also as possibly one up on the snake T blair,, but he tells me nothing these days, so i think he is making good money on them before shipping them off to the people whom most likely will look after them better.

hi cappy #701
good evening, arthur daley is not worthy to shine your shoes cappy, you could sell sand to the arabs and snow to the eskimos, But im surprised with you dealing with the clergy, as only god must know what those perverts get up to with dirty underpants, They never asked you to show them whilst wearing them did they,? and i suppose you didnt mention the monkeypox problem, whilst you where handling them did you.
