headhunter Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 That'd be a shame if it were true. Sadly, just phoned to be told they are relocation to Cheshunt, so don't all start cheering yet John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 'Cheshunt' M25 Junction 25 (easy to remember), that'll be a lot easier to get to, wonder if its related the LEZ (London Emsion Zone) coming in next year. Whereby anyone without a genuine car classed LR County has to pay £400 or something stupid like that a day to get into the zone ! Also be a good excuse to avoid the M25/M11 traffic jam, at the next junction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Freak Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Oh no.... I work in Cheshunt! That will lower the tone a little ! Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I work in Cheshunt! You mean you go there for a few hours a day and drink coffee. Everyone knows that senior management actually do nothing at all. On a more serious note - there will be a forum charity collection to help this ailing company, who are a real benefit to the 4x4 community.

But still unconfirmed..... The suspense is killing me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
