I now have access to a computer for the duration of my stay thanks to Fahim. The Youth Team left on Sunday after a long delay at the Airport and all arrived safely in London.
Myself and Fahim spent 3 days walking the small alleyways and workshops in the old part of the city, lots of busy workshops producing stainless steel items, reflective tape, hooters, paint etc. a real Aladdin's cave of parts for Bedfords. We bought all the decoration needed to be fixed to the truck.
Every piece of metalwork was once something else, mainly washing machine drums; parts are cut up, hammered into shape and decorated with a hammer punch, nothing goes to waste here. Children after school tie large magnets on strings and walk about to collect any metal on the ground which is reused again.
All the items are now being packed ready to be shipped back to Luton
