What do you collect?

Surely you don't need an electric van to avoid ULEZ charges?

Just a diesel van from 2016 onwards or a petrol one from 2006?

Your right but I’ve done the sums and they are pretty poor also , the biggest thing with me over the years has been I’ve learned that you really need to spend out on a new van or at very least extremely low mileage ,ive all too often in my younger days had vans that are high mileage that you have no clue how they have been looked after and they turn into money pits that are totally unreliable, I can go out and buy a van that’s a day older than mine but done about 80 k miles for stupid money ( mine is worth peanuts now) , fit it out how I need it and have a pig in a poke 🤷🏻‍♂️

ah well , it’s just the way things are , people like me (and there’s plenty) can’t really afford to or able to make a viable financial case to not just suck it up and be hit in the pocket with yet another big tax drain on our living standards , the expansion is a money spinner pure and simple 

anyway I’m not intending to drag this thread off topic it was just a wry throw away comment on what I’m collecting 😂

They go for silly money to collectors. I sold a few swaps from the 80’s on eBay during lockdown and raked in two k.

I’ve received this message this week so watch this space!

”Hi, I’m a freelance reporter working for the UK press and websites. I love your crisp packet collection. I’d like to write it up as a story if you fancied it going out a wider audience?”

Sounds like a story he wants to get his teeth into ?

Might just be winding you up, I’d take it with a pinch of salt.
