Hi, I want to undertake a pre-purchase inspection on an Eriba I want to buy. Does anyone have recommendations for mobile caravan engineers in the mid-wales area? I would normally look over the border as well, but restrictions. Thanks. BTW I have already checked the section on services, repairs etc on this forum.

Hmm. A difficult one then with the lockdowns. As the Welsh lockdown ends next Monday what will be the situation regarding someone from England crossing the border as I suppose travelling would be essential to his/her work?
My immediate thoughts go towards JohnE of this Parish who works out of Chester.

A bit of a throw away comment but humourously relative in these times but did you know that Chester Football Club is built on the border so they've not been able to use the ground as the toilet end is in Wales

Don't venture into Chester when the sun goes down Roger, There is an old medieval law that says "Any Chester resident may shoot a Welshman with a longbow if he loiters within the city walls after sunset"....

First, find your longbow then you can go looking for loitering Welshmen. I’m not sure this is a sensible activity to undertake of an evening 😂

Or is it that Welshmen with longbows may be shot by loitering Chester residents? It’s open to interpretation 😁

No worries there then John for the English Army coudn't find anyone who could draw a longbow and have relied on Welsh bowmen for centuries.

That's not what the History books say Alf and a longbow is described as being the length of a man so there were probably longlongbows and shortlongbows and that's not including the averagelong bows. Same goes for the arrows

(I wonder if there were any telescopiclengthlongbows?)

It's a good job they didn't make them the same size as me, they would only have a range of 30 feet...

Yes but you'd also be a smaller target to aim back at

If you Google it there was the Welsh mini bow, the Puck small bow, the well known Familia bow, the Triton three arrow bow, the Trolling about bow and the Odin bend in the middle long bow.
