You'll know if you've got one, it's huge, heavy and big enough to put your back out when you move it into place. I've got one but I've only used it once.

...didn't realise that the little holes in the side by the seats are for the legs for stability. Alex, I don't know how many sets of holes you're supposed to have but I've got about 3 pairs. It does give you flexibilty when it comes to the table though because you can have the long leg either point...

Is that a fold down shelf/table below the top shelf. I've only seen shelves balanced on the side shelves? It could be on four legs. The original sink drainer/bunk bed has four screw points where the legs can be attached so it can be used outside in the awning. The table is already using the two stu...

After a manic day of running around trying to find an alternative, I can confirm that the 'Wroughton Classic' as it was known has been cancelled.

OK, hinges ordered and paid for, waiting for delivery now. They were out of stock... someone must have bought a load recently... :roll:

Well, after bringing my Portafold 'home' on Tuesday night I had a good 2 hour drive from mid Devon across to the East Dorset/Hampshire border to try out the new tyre pressures as recommended by Steve. I took mine up from the 25psi I had been running them on, up to 40psi. There was a difference in th...
