yep euromat been replated in bg but rh drive and you can still see the outline of the hanson stickers on the door
Apparently Hansonsā want their old mixers exported (I guess to reduce competition). I know of an operator who couldnāt get an 8w mixer secondhand so bought one off the exporter. Went on hire to Hanson and the computer said ānoā to the reg number. He re registered it, still blatantly an ex Hanson mixer minus the name and it did a fair bit of work for them, not without upsetting a few jobsworths in the process.

Yeah.
Easyjet do good deals for us from Manchester now, Manchester to Sofia in Sep / Oct last year was under Ā£100 return each including luggage upgrade and speedy boarding. Car wasnāt expensive either, although Iāve got access to a car over there.
I like to get around, stayed in Burgas, Sunny Beach, Golden Sands, Veliko Turnovo, Ruse and Yambol so far, and average around 2000 miles per week when Iām there, because wherever I stay, Iāve gotta see mates in other parts and itās a big bloody place
