It was always amusing listening to good old 'Jones the motor' just up the road from the OM at Valley, when he was conversing with his mechanics in Welsh...

Because the Welsh don't have words for anything modern, such as 'wheel' or 'fire', every other word was English!

Excellent chap though. The throttle cable on my MG Midget went twang one Friday afternoon and I was due to drive to London to visit a girl friend the following morning. But J-t-m delved around in his store and came up with the goods and off I went the next day....

The rest of the weekend was rather a DNCO though
