this springs to mind , by the author . It may be a wee bit too '' Belfast"" for some of you , but stick with it .
Ignore the video , just listen to the tale.
id better add a few things
The Hat , was a workshop foreman , so called because they wore a hat rather than a flat cap
Went Harpic , Belfast saying it is a bit like Took the head staggers , it comes from an old tv advert for Harpic Loo cleaner , the add catch phrase was '' clean round the bend''.
The White House is a famous shop in Portrush , a local sea side town .
I remove the battery - I had one blow up, literally, when I was 18, despite protecting it from sparks etc. Bits of plastic whistling past you, with an acid shower to follow tends to make you a little wary.
Disconnect the engine and ABS ECU.
And everything still worked afterwards
But I've not welded anything newer than 1991 as they simply haven't needed it - application of waxes, underseal, and removing any rust as it occured seems to have minimised the need to.
