It does my head in, the kids just running around out of control!! When i'm in Italy the kids are so well behaved it's like being on another planet. The parenting here is so fucking out of control, the parents shouting and swearing at them, it's so bad!...and it would be you that was in the wrong if you clouted them!
I waited till 7 O'clock when all the madness has died down, traffic was light and Tesco was very quiet apart from the bloody kids!!
I do the same. Leave after the rush hour traffic and do my shop in the evening.
Southampton on a Saturday is fucking mental, when i lived in a bed sit in 2006 a ex army dude moved in, great dude and he called Southamton little London due to the traffic. Even on a bike the traffic is hard work, being a bank holiday people just for no reason go fucking mental, i just don't get it!!
I used to do my shopping on Amazon but everything now with them is silly money!!
Thank you for asking. Yes, they have accepted my Resume and are placing me as the top recommended tech to fill this position. I interviewed with a company called Tech Systems, they are head hunters for tech to work for corporations. They want to place me at Raytheon, the missile company. With Trump trying to start WW3, they should have plenty in the budget to hire me. Raytheon is part of United Technologies including Pratt & Whitney who make airplanes, Hamilton Sunstrand who make parts for space shuttle and space suits for astronoghts, Interbational Fuel cell who make hydrogen fuel cells that produce electricity and many more corps. I got very lucky on this one, Tech systems employs the guy who trained me in Audio and Video when I was an apprentice and he gave me a great reference
Wow, that is pretty poor that an 18yr old bike is seen as non serviceable…
Good luck, you'll be happy to know I'm helping with investment.
I've gone over the Enfield and there is nothing there for it to fail the MOT on Tuesday, a possible advisary might be given for a loud exhaust but that's about it, when i'm waiting i'll go next door to the Stile pub!! It's a bikers pub and i used to drink in there back in the day, it will be interesting to see who's in there there that i know and catch up with some info. I know two of the guys that i knew have died, you get Hells Angels in there now and then and members of the Swamp Rats and no i will not be drinking alchol just a lemonade will do. 
I have often thought of seeking some financial backing to start a motorcycle service center. The one thing I really enjoy is fixing/working on bikes. Many of my friends say I take my bike apart way too much. Ducatis, especially the 999 are so easy to work on and I have learned what to look for to diagnose most issues. What keeps me from starting said business is the enormous amount of Harleys that would want me to adress their issues and I have limited interest in fixing antique cruisers.
You could buy one of those car crusher things that make the cubes
Z-Power do spares for old Kawasaki's, they're in Leigh, Manchester so would most likely involve postage costs, but I always get my spares from them, even spares for my 2021 Z900RS. I've known Dave & Phil for many, many years. Always perfect service & helpful.
You say that like decent rooves are easy to come by.All you need is a shed with a decent roof really

We dont seem to have an issue with parts here, My father had bought the new indicator light assembly from the dealer they just would not install it for him. It only took 30 mins total from when he asked until job was done. He even tried to ask if any of the shops so called "mechanics" did jobs like this on the side. The answer was that they would lose their job if the even offered to do it for free at home. They dont have a single factory trained mechanic, most are just kids that have rebiult and mantained their dirty bikes at home. I have tried to get them to give my number out to people such as my dad, whos bikes they will not touch but they will not point them to me either. The only thing that keeps me from opening a shop to work on these older machines is the insurance incase they try to sue you after you fixed their issue. America has a law that even if I, with you fully present and involved, inspect your bike and fix the issue you have pointed out, and have you sign a paper that I just did X for a repairand am not responsible for anything else on the bike, if you crash and get hurt you can still sue me. The law says you cannot sign away your right to sue. So if I replace your foot peg that you supplied to me and you signed off that it was done correctly and I have no responsibility beyond that, if they go crash, since I touched it last, I must fight in court to prove that replacing the peg did not contribute to the crash in any possible way. We all know it is impossible to prove a negative and juries in the USA like to side with the victim even when they have done something obviously wrong like put a fresh hot cup of coffee between their legs at the drive thru. They award millions and you go bankruptZ-Power do spares for old Kawasaki's, they're in Leigh, Manchester so would most likely involve postage costs, but I always get my spares from them, even spares for my 2021 Z900RS.

EDIT: Sorry, just looked & didn't realise you were so far away !!
EDIT, EDIT: Also, just remembered they moved some time ago to Huddersfield !!
In fairness I have just got back from the pub !!
I have a garage under my house with walk into the basement which I have setup as a race shop to service my bikes. I also have most of the necessary tools to rebuild or service forks and other components. I have done several refreshes on many different types of bikes. There is little doubt I could and would make money but the problem is would I make enough before the complaints start or I get sued? The insurance is cheap for basic coverage incase I did make a mistake and had to pay for a replacement part or two but what if the motor fails after I do an oil change and check valves. How do you prove you did not do anything wrong even with the entire process video recorded?All you need is a shed with a decent roof really
To succeed you need a special kind of shed with a certain quality of roofing felt ( maybe someone can re post the picture

That’s where the magic happens, it is rarely seen, build quality of this kind, nearly as rare as floor board ceilings
