When I w...Hi Les and Jaqs<br /><br />Hope you are both well?<br /><br />When I was working for UPS, I use to deliver into the Kings Langley site every day.I have not been through there since before they started to demolish the factory, so I will need to pop along there to have a look to see the changes. I use to see the building work going on as I drove past on the M25 bridge nearby and you get a good view of the finished site even now.<br /><br />Happy sailing to both of you and I'll try and see you soon.<br /><br />MickThe Mechanic AKA.
