Yes that's good deadline but the amount of jobs around  at the minute they'll all still be low mileage ones in a couple of years.

Rob.... EC2 to W1 bike is £ 19.10 + vat. Van is the same price but with £9.00 C/C vat exempt . SE16 going to where sir ? .. Times not an issue as long as it is pre-booked with us. There is unfortunatley pm rate of 30 % ...
