Tony has tried to bleed the brakes today – without success. Firstly the hose wouldn’t fit on the brake nipples, then the brake nipples won’t open. We therefore need to get Chattie on the back of the van and get it to a specialist. First we need to pump up the tyre on the van. Sigh.

Where They Served 
I say ‘bleedin’ brakes. Easy to get at the bleed nipples, but I can remember using brute force in a similar situation with one of my Alvis cars, which resulted in the cylinder snapping. Leave it to the experts is my motto.
